I urinate quite frequently?

Question

Dear Doctors/Readers

I have a problem of urinating quite frequently. I had this problem at the age of 23 years. Now I am at 38 years and the problem still continues. Got it checked for all possible means (urinary track infection, BPH, bladder, prostate, diabetics etc) to track the problem with the help of qualified doctors but the result is nil. I have consulted doctors many times and they have said may be because I consume more water. But the problem is that after a meal, may be about an hour I feel like going for urination and I go for it. Then after 15 minutes again I feel like going, this happens 3 to 4 times and comes to normal if I didn’t drink water in between. In a day, some times I urinate more than 12 times. However, once if I sleep then next morning only I will go for urine. What is this problem, the qualified doctors (allopathic) was told me there is no problem, you need to control on drinking water. I drinks about 3 litres of water every day. During this process, I have observed that SGPT is more some times. Our Company doctor has got it done some more blood tests to rule out any possible liver problem and informed me that this may be due (SGPT problem) is due to Gilberts syndrome.

After all this, I have approached a qualified Ayurvedic Doctor. The doctor has given me some treatment and this is giving me some relief. But, if possible I want get rid of this problem. Could anybody is possible to help me. I request to email this to me to [e-mail]

While passing urine, there is no itching/pain etc.

With best regards

Answer 1

I would reduce your fluid intake - 3 litres of water per day sounds a lot - as you will also be taking other fluids from your food etc.

Answer 2

mr swamy..
i see no reason why u sud be bothered at all..
consuming 3 lts of water is not too high given the medical advise of consuming at least 4 litr.
i myself m an avid water consumer & urinate 8-10 times..
thats looking normal..
had there been a pblm..u wud hv felt the need to ease urself in the night also which is not the case..
i encourage u to continue drinking the water qnty or rather to increase it by furthger 1 ltr.
the healthy habit ( if u do not do already) is to drink 1.5 lts in the mng after u leave the bed..
u also sud take into consideration the tea/coffee..cold drinks etc that u drink when u are examining the no. of urinations..
the working conditions if u r in a chilled /cold a/c room..the body water loss does not happen..so it ensues in urination..

cheer up chill out & drink water..
its the magical panacea for so many diseases...

Besides the urinary frequency, this also means your entire day and activities require the immediate availability of a restroom. I can't imagine how frustrating this can be. Please make sure you have been checked for the presence of diabetes, the first sign of which can be frequent urination accompanied by excessive thirst, or maybe you have interstitial cystitis.This involves chronic inflammation of the bladder in addition to a decreased capacity that leads to urinary frequency and pelvic pain. This diagnosis requires the services of a urologist , who will need to visualize your bladder through a cytoscope.
Try to control your water intake as I can see it really excessive. Try consult a medical physician and have an executive (complete) body check-up.

Answer 4

3 litres sounds too much to me. Come on, you're not a camel!!
I'd be p***ing all day too if I drank so much water. Do you drink other things during the day as well? Tea, coffee, soft-drink, milk? If so, it's hardly surprising that you have to urinate so much. And there's also water in your food intake, particularly fruit and vegetables. Apart from this, the only other thing I can think of (and which you haven't specifiially mentioned) is cystitis, although I suppose this falls into the urinary tract infections category.

Answer 5

You should not be having a persistant problem with good medical care. This is inexcusable. There are a number of possibilities; and without going into it all, I must tell you that if--and only if--this is purely a functional urinary problem, then some parasympatholitic agent such as Ditropan can be helpful.

In the meantime, the doctor should be checking the specific gravity of your urine, considering the possibility of SIADH and other metabolic possibilities.

Answer 6

One and a half litres of water a day is enough for a person of average body build.

Three litres is excessive.

Had a kidney infection myself and was told to drink 1.5 litres per day maximum. Have to admit that four years on I do feel better and yes I did find myself using the bathroom more often. I found it difficult to get up to 1.5 litres so how you can get 3 is impressive.

But its not doing you any good.

Answer 7

Frequent trips to the lavatory are a hallmark of pregnancy. Having to pee a lot is especially common during the first and last trimester. In fact, it's one of the usual early signs of pregnancy, part of all the hormonal changes your body goes through. Later on, your growing uterus shrinks your bladder's capacity just as you are producing more urine. Even when your bladder is empty, the pressure on it can make it feel full. Also, pregnant women sometimes have trouble emptying their bladder completely, another reason for the extra pit stops.

Answer 8

Go to a urologist. Sounds like my condition, which is now treated with detrol LA-- overactive bladder. Had very similar symptoms for years, suddenly got worse last year, with increased urgency, pain and leakage. Thought I had something serious. 3 liters is not a huge amount of water, but unless you are really thirsty there is no reason to drink this much. Drink water only when you are thirsty, it really has little effect otherwise on your system other than flushing out your electrolytes.

Answer 9

I can only see that u r not able to tolerate the urge to urinate even though ur bladder size is big enough. If it were not so, u wud not have had a comfortable undisturbed sleep. Please try to prolong the period after u feel the urge. This cud be done gradually, say 5 min increment every day or so.

Answer 10
