How many times a day should you pee? See what should worry you

Have you ever wondered how many times a day we should urinate? It turns out that this seemingly trivial activity is of great importance. How often we urinate is actually a very important sign of our overall health. It applies to both infants and adults. See what should worry you and when to see your doctor.

  1. Both too frequent and too infrequent urination can be a sign of health problems
  2. However, it also depends on various factors, such as the age or size of the bladder
  3. However, for healthy adults, it is possible to determine the average number of daily toilet visits that is within the normal range
  4. More current information can be found on the Onet homepage.

Urination – How often do we pee depends on?

A healthy person can urinate four to ten times a day. Usually, however, it is six or seven times a day. In fact, it all depends on several factors:

  1. age,
  2. fluid intake
  3. what we drink
  4. any diseases we have, e.g. diabetes or urinary tract infections,
  5. medications taken,
  6. bladder sizes.

At this point, it is also worth mentioning the period of pregnancy and puerperium. During this time, ladies can go to the toilet much more often. In pregnant women, this is due to fluid changes and pressure on the bladder by the growing fetus. After giving birth, more frequent visits to the toilet can be up to eight weeks. This is due to the extra fluid the woman may have received from the drip in labor, as well as the body’s natural response to get rid of excess water.

What diseases and medications make you urinate more often?

As we mentioned, there are several medical conditions that can affect how often you pass urine. These include, but are not limited to, urinary incontinence or retention, problems with the prostate.

Other medical conditions that affect urination more frequently include:

  1. Diabetes
  2. Hypocalcaemia or hypercalcemia. If the calcium level in your body is disturbed (whether it is too high or too low), it can affect the flow of urine in the body.
  3. Sickle cell anemia. It can affect kidney function and urine levels. Therefore, people with this condition use the toilet more often.
  4. Urinary tract infection (UTI). It is more common in women. This condition makes us feel a strong pressure on the bladder almost all the time. You may urinate more frequently during an infection, but in smaller amounts. This activity can also be associated with baking. If you suspect you have a UTI, be sure to consult your doctor.

  1. chlorotiazyd
  2. chlortalidon
  3. hydrochlorotiazyd
  4. indapamide
  5. metolazone
  6. bumetanide
  7. furosemide
  8. torsemide
  9. amiloryd
  10. eplerenone
