Green Tea Frequent Urination

I drink Green Tea as both Hot and Iced Teas. When I first started I did have to urinate more often. I stopped once for about 3 months, and so did the frequency. So I think that it is related.
At first I went to the Dr and he was concerned that there may have been a prostate issue, but that was all fine. But any changes in your visits to the restroom should be discussed with your doctor. Sometimes it can be a symptom. Better safe than sorry.

I drink green tea a lot, almost constantly some days, and I've never thought it made you go to the bathroom more frequently. Maybe it's just me. If you were to drink as much water as tea, you may get the same result.
If you are concerned, quit it for a few days and see what happens. If you're still going to the bathroom a lot, see your doctor.

I doubt it; I'm really hairy-chested as it is, and if drinking green tea caused more chest hair, I think I would be able to knit it, lol.

It's the tea. I drink lots of tea, so I know.

I think maybe its because it's so high in antioxidants. It's flushing out your system, so to speak, and making you go more often. Also, it's water based. Combined and you get the reaction you're having
Just a thought!

hmmm, green tea has caffeine in it right? because i believe caffeine makes you have to go to the bathroom more frequently then usual.
