How many times a day should you pass urine ? | Health Channel
• Most people can sleep 6 to 8 hours without having to urinate.
• But it's usually not a big deal if you get up once a night to pee.
• Drinking caffeinated drinks or alcohol or just drinking too much liquid too close to bedtime can cause it.
• If you're concerned or waking up several times to pee, you may want to see your doctor.
• Excessive nighttime urination can also be caused by medications; diabetes; or kidney, heart, prostate, or other health problems, so it’s worth getting checked out.
• Frequent urination does not require treatment if there is no underlying condition and the frequency is not affecting happiness or quality of life.
• Pregnant women also do not require treatment, as the symptom should disappear a few weeks after giving birth.
• Any treatment required will depend on the cause.
• If a condition such as diabetes or a UTI is responsible for frequent urination, treatment will resolve this symptom.
• It can also increase urinary flow and reduce the size of the prostate.
• If treatment is causing a person to pee too often, a doctor can adjust the dosage or prescribe a different medication.
• It may be helpful to record fluid intake, urinary frequency, urgency, and other symptoms for 3 or more days before an appointment.
• This can help a doctor when they are diagnosing and determining the best treatment.
• Even after getting treatment, some people find the following strategies helpful:
• Limit the amount of soda, caffeine, and alcohol consumed, or avoid them completely.
• Drink 8 glasses of water daily.
• Pee before and after sexual intercourse, and wipe from front to back after using the bathroom.
• Try probiotic supplements or probiotic-rich foods, including yogurt, kefir, and kimchi. Probiotics can support genital and urinary health.
