Whilst someone else had the topic of pooping.. I figured I'd ask this question.. lol


I drink about 3-4 litres of water a day.. is it normal to pee 8-10 times in a day?

*** some days it feels like more.. but I'm not obsessive enough to count lol..

    For what it's worth I drink at least the recommended 8 cups a day and I pee like 5-6 times a day at least. I also eat a ton of salt.

    As long as your pee is the appropriate color and clarity (light yellow and clear)...then chances are you are adequately hydrated and peeing the appropriate amount. However, not everyone's bladder is the same. If you are rushing to the bathroom too frequently for your comfort or feeling urgency when you do have to go, you may have an overactive bladder. But, in general, if you drink a lot, you pee a lot. And that's totally okay.

    My friends make jokes about how much I pee. I go more frequently than my friend who is 7 months pregnant, if that tells you something. :-) Pretty much always been that way.

    I held off from commenting on the poohing thread because I only share that info with my nearest and dearest! :wink:

    Weeing though is different so I'll add that I go minimum 10-15 times a day, probably a lot more. It seems for every sip I take in I expel a cup full, lol! :laugh:

    15 times a day would be like once an hour!!

    Think i pee about 4 times a day, i REFUSE to get up to pee if im in bed and half sleeping, or wake up in the middle of the night. Probably not healthy but i wait until i get up in the morning lol

    I drink a gallon of water a day and have no idea how much I pee but I know for sure it's a minimum of 10 times.

    I'm awake on average 16-18 hours a day so this is normal for me. Is it not?? :huh:

    If it's not, I'm changing my name to Abby Normal. :laugh:

    I pee at least once an hour, before bed, wake up at least once to pee, and pee when I wake up.

    ok, I guess I'm good..

    lol

    I asked because I was getting weird looks in the office because I go to the washroom frequently.. but obviously those people giving me the weird looks don't drink as much liquids as myself lol..

    i drink about 2-2.5l a day and pee like crazy.
    have a cup of water, wait 3 min, pee, wait 15min pee. and all over again.
    i think my bladder is fairly small :(

    at work (9-12 hours per shift) i used to go pee once per hour.. i HATE it

    I also go about once an hour. I have to make sure I stop drinking my water a good hour and a half before bed or I can't make it through the night.

    But I also drink 10-12 cups of water a day.
