Why do I urinate a lot?

Answer 1

It can be a sighn of ilness. You should get Checked out for diabeties. thats a common simpton.

Answer 2

Our kidneys filter blood and produce at least 30 - 60 mls of urine per hour. Normally, we feel the urge to urinate at least every 4 - 5 hours as our bladders begin to fill.

Excluding illnesses, the more we drink water (or fluids in general), the more urine is produced, and the more we need to go to the toilet to urinate.

We also eliminate excess water through perspiration, breathing, and speaking. So, in cold weathers like what we have now, we do not produce as much sweat and the tendency is for our excess waters to be diverted into urine, hence increasing the need to urinate more often.

There are a lot of easily treated illnesses that cause an increase in urination. Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus, Urinary Infection, Prostate Cancer are just a few of them.

It's best to have your urine tested. This is easy and pain-free. Don't start worrying thinking about serious diseases. Have yourself tested to be sure.

Good luck

Answer 3

If you get up at night and have the need to go or even if you have to go a lot during the day, you should go and see a doctor. You might have an enlarged prostate or something more serious than that.
I found out when I was going a lot and seen a doctor they found out that I had prostate cancer. I'm okay now and have been cancer free about 9 or 10 years, cause it was caught in it's early stages.

Polyuria

Excessive volume of urination means that you release abnormally large amounts of urine each day. The medical term for this condition is polyuria.

Considerations

An excessive volume of urination for an adult would be at least 2.5 liters of urine per day.

Polyuria is a fairly common symptom, which is often noticed when you have to get up to use the bathroom at night.

Common Causes

Too much fluid intake, particularly fluids containing caffeine or alcohol
Too much salt or glucose (if diabetic)
Drug use, especially diuretics
Diabetes (including diabetes insipidus)
Psychogenic polydipsia, most common in women over age 30
Renal failure
Sickle cell anemia
Radiographic tests that use a contrast media
Urine volume will increase for up to 24 hours following the dose

Home Care

Intake and output of fluids should be monitored. Record daily weights at the same time(s) and on the same scales.

Call your health care provider if

Excessive urination occurs over several days, and it is not explained by medications or increase in fluids.

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:

Urinalysis

Creatinine studies
Fluid deprivation test (the intake of fluids is restricted to see if the urine volume decreases)
Serum osmolality and urine osmolality tests
Serum electrolytes
