What is micturate?

Micturate is a medical term meaning to urinate or void urine from the bladder. It is a natural process that occurs in healthy individuals to eliminate excess fluids and waste products from the body. The act of micturition is controlled by the nervous system, which signals the bladder to contract and the urethral sphincter to relax, allowing urine to pass out of the body through the urethra. In some cases, certain medical conditions or medications can affect micturition, causing urinary retention or incontinence. It is important to discuss any changes in urination patterns with a healthcare provider.
