I need to pee ALL the time?!

I'm the same. I drink about 2 to 3 litres of water a day plus during that intake I would drink green tea too.

I agree with the rest. When you drink alot of water, you tend to use the restroom alot. Normal, not to worry

This isn't about weight but I had no idea where to put it. But I'm needing to pee all the time. I've always been fairly frequent, I started to drink a lot more due to dieting, so this may be it, but I don't see how drinking the recommended 8 glasses, could make me want to pee every few hours or more. I thought it was caffeine so I didn't drink any for a week and I still had the problem. Anyone experienced this?

You SHOULD be peeing every few hours or more. That's not fairly frequent, that's normal. If you had to pee every few MINUTES, we would be having a different discussion.

It sounds like you've been dehydrating yourself for so long that now you're hydrating normally you don't recognize it as normal.

yes yes and yes lol

get checked for diabetes!

very common symptom!

good luck...

This.

Drink less. If your peeing a lot your body doesn't need the fluid. Your body has a perfectly adequate way of telling if you need fluid it's called thirst. The 8 glasses a day thing has no basis in science it's just a number plucked out of thin air.

^^^^^Ummmmmm . . . no. From the Mayo Clinic website, "Unfortunately, thirst isn't always a reliable gauge of the body's need for water, especially in children and older adults. A better indicator is the color of your urine: Clear or light-colored urine means you're well hydrated, whereas a dark yellow or amber color usually signals dehydration."

Also from the Mayo Clinic website:

So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.


What about the advice to drink eight glasses a day?



Everyone has heard the advice, "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day." That's about 1.9 liters, which isn't that different from the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Although the "8 by 8" rule isn't supported by hard evidence, it remains popular because it's easy to remember. Just keep in mind that the rule should be reframed as: "Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day," because all fluids count toward the daily total.

I run, so I feel like I need to keep super hydrated. I drink about a gallon of water a day, and I pee between each class (I'm a high school teacher), so about every 45 minutes or so.

I wish I did.... Mine scares me..... I drank 4 bottles of my water bottle full that hold 24 oz yesterday and 4 of the plastic big Walmart brand bottles that are 20 oz plus a few glasses of tea and I only peed three times all day yesterday (once was when I woke up before I even drank the stuff ).... It even scared me so bad last night that I took a couple of my water pills and still nothing... But this happens most days where I don't pee even though I should be.

I think I need to bring this up Tuesday when I go to the doctor.

You are doing better than me, lol. I go probably once an hour all day long and every 2hrs at night. Is it possible that you are pregnant?
If not, I would get your blood sugar checked. This is a very common symptom with diabetes.
If not that, then possibly a bladder infection? Or you just need to strengthen your bladder and have poor bladder control.

Sorry. You probably got all that already from the other responses. I didn't read any of them.

eta: wait, I just realized you said every few hours. That is normal.
