Question 1

Accepted Answer

Possible, but also..: Other causes include large prostate if you are a male above 50 and leg swelling. The water redistributes when you lie flat at night and exits through urination. Other causes include diuretics e.g. Water pills, caffeine, or beer at night.

Question 2

frequent urination-how many times is considered too much? i drink lots of fluids, i feel i go more than the avg guy. shud i document this or do other?

Accepted Answer

Varies widely.: The daily number of voids can vary widely, depending on fluid intake and fluid losses, bladder capacity, sensitivity to bladder fullness, and external cues. As a urologist, i'd say 4-7 times daily is a reasonable estimate. If you void more or less frequently than this it can be normal, but if you are concerned i'd bring it up with your physician.

Question 3

why do i have these bouts of frequent urination most days i don't. i drink 4-5 cups of water a day and eat pretty much the same things everyday?

Accepted Answer

Good: This is not a bad thing. The kidneys need to hydrate. Now first begin by seeing your doctor to check for a urinary track infection if negative just drink your water and relax. Water is very healthy and necessary for your system

Question 4

would drinking 2 liters of soda (non diet) per day cause chronic frequent urination?

Accepted Answer

Let review, drinking: In reviewing your symptoms I would need to ask a few more questions? Are you thristy all the time? Do you feel hungry when you shouldn't. Is there a family history of Diabetes in your family? Do you have any behavioral issues? Do you crave sweets? Any weight loss?  Do you wake up frequently in the night to urinate? Are you taking any medicines that could cause urinary retention? Any dysuria? What

Question 5

how come sometimes i have frequent urination but most days i don't ? i drink pretty much the same amount everyday. is something wrong with my bladder?

Accepted Answer

No there is: NOTHING wrong with your bladder ....the amount of urine is not JUST due to the liquids you ingest but also due to WASTE elimination...... Daily VARIATION is NORMAL!...If frequency actually interferes with your activity or particularly your SLEEP it 's time to get the symptom evaluated!

Hope this helps!

Yes: You are probably eating as well and that adds to the bodies water intake.  The mechanisms of the body are designed to provide homeostasis - a steady equilibrium.
