Influence of Sex Hormones on Frequency of Micturition

THE frequency of micturition during pregnancy is regarded as a normal reaction to this physiological state. The mechanism which is responsible for this action, however, remains a matter of conjecture. It was once assumed that, during pregnancy, frequent micturition resulted from the impingement of t...
