this is kinda gross but..........?

Question

i only pee once a day.........is that a bad thing???

Answer 1

i dont think it is a good thing....you should be drinking more fluids or at least eating more foods that have high water content.....it is not good for your body to only pee once a day....but ask you doctor for sure.....

Answer 2

If you only pee once a day than you're not drinking enough water. Try carrying a water bottle with you at work or out shopping to encourage drinking more. Urinating clears out nitrogen, something you body doesn't need, so you really should be peeing more.

Answer 3

Normally, the average person urinates no more than six to eight times each day, and does not have to get up at night to use the bathroom. When a person needs urinate more than once every couple of hours during the day, or get up several times during the night, something is probably wrong.



Please note that it is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms: if you treat yourself for the wrong illness or a specific symptom of a complex disease, you may delay legitimate treatment of a serious underlying problem. In other words, the greatest danger in self-treatment may be self-diagnosis. If you do not know what you really have, you can not treat it!

After urine is produced by the kidneys, it flows down the ureters into the bladder. The bladder is a hollow, balloon-like organ, most of its wall being made of muscle. As the bladder fills, the muscle relaxes so that the bladder expands and holds urine. During urination, the bladder muscle contracts to squeeze out the urine. The urethra is the tube through which urine passes from the bladder to the outside. The urethra has a muscle -- the sphincter -- which is completely separate to the bladder muscle. The sphincter normally stays closed and makes a seal to keep urine from leaking. During urination, the sphincter opens and lets urine pass.

The bladder and urethra have a specialized lining called the epithelium. The epithelium forms a barrier between the urine and the bladder muscle. The epithelium also helps to keep bacteria from sticking to the bladder, so it helps to prevent bladder infections.

Causes & Development
Common causes of frequent urination include:

* Excessive fluid intake
* Urinary tract infection
* Prostatitis (infected or inflamed prostate gland)
* Enlarged prostate
* Pregnancy
* Radiation therapy
* Diabetes
* Bladder dysfunction
* Bladder cancer
* Interstitial cystitis
* Medications (Diuretics)

Added to these possible causes is the natural process of aging: As we get older, the muscle of the bladder loses elasticity and tone. As a result, the bladder's capacity can be reduced by almost 50%, causing more frequent urination, and may empty less completely. The warning period between the urge and actual urination is also shortened or even lost as one ages. In addition, muscular disability, spinal cord effects on the bladder muscle, tumors, infection, or anatomic damage to the sphincters and/or bladder neck may cause incontinence in advancing age. Other risks for incontinence in old age include chronic disease, cognitive impairment, medications, smoking, pelvic muscle weakness, low fluid intake and environment.

Answer 4

O well I think that is ok maybe you should drink more water or more fluids. It would be bad if you dont do number 2 every day
Have fun peeing lol
Peace

Answer 5

depends on your body?... it may be normal... if it is something that has just started to occur, then yes it is bad... if it is something that has been that way then no its normal... if it really worries you see a doctor. also maybe you are not drinking enough liquids daily? i mean some peple only make bowl movements every other day and some once a week or even monthly... now thats wierd and gross... but thats just the way their bodies function> again only a doctor can tell you. and especially if it hurts then that is also bad

Answer 6

not gross normal sounds like me i pee alot either in the morning or at night but once and i poop once maybe twice a week doctor says its normal just how my body functions try drinking more water if you want to pee more

Answer 7

It depends on whether this has just started happening or not. If this is something that's been going on for as long as you can remember, probably not that big of a deal, if it has just started happening, you could be dehydrated or showing sypmtoms of kindey disease and or failure. I'd imagine if it was the latter you would have other symptoms as well, but I'd still talk to your doctor about it and let him or her decide what action if any should be taken. Could be something completely normal, could be something that needs immediate attention, who knows?

Answer 8

No its not a good thing. Do you drink enough water? Probably not. Try drinking Eight, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. You will probably pee alot more.

Answer 9

It is a very bad/grave thing. Drink atleast 4 litres of water and then see the positive changes in your body.

Answer 10

If this is recent change,then u should urgently see a doctor.
If it has been like this since long, then there is no grave danger.
But like all other I will also advise u to increase your intake of liquids so that u urinate more frequently. This will reduce the chances of grtting kidney stones too.
