Question 1

how many times a day should i urinate?i wee twice a day that is after i get up in the morning and at 16:30. i'm also obese, is it water retention?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You will urinate in direct proportion to how much you're taking in as food and drink minus what you lose from sweat. If you retain fluid, you'll see a steady rise in your weight and get puffy ankles that leave a "pit" after you pinch them with your thumb and forefinger. If it's warm where you live and if you don't drink much, you'll not need to urinate very often.

Question 2

how many times a day should i be urinating?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Depending on the fluid intake. Normal urine output is 1.5-2 liter/day. Excessive intake of coffee increases frequency of urination as caffeine is a mild diuretic and stimulates urine production.

Question 3

how many times a day should someone urinate?

Accepted Answer

As needed.: The daily number of voids can vary widely, depending on fluid intake and fluid losses, bladder capacity, sensitivity to bladder fullness, and external cues. 4-7 times daily is a typical. As a urologist, we simply recommend not holding urine for long periods of time. 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 4

how many times a day should a person urinate?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depends also on fluid intake but should be at least 3-6x per day.

Question 5

how many times a day is it normal to urinate?

Accepted Answer

Will vary widely.: How often you void depends on how much urine is produced and when bladder sensations prompt voiding. Every person is different. It depends on fluid consumed, alcohol and caffeine. Some prefer to void often with small volumes, others can wait. 
Voiding every 1-6 hours is common. Less than or more than that may have a cause that needs evaluation. If you are bothered or worried, seek an evaluation.

Question 6

how many times a day is "frequent urination"?

Accepted Answer

See below: The number of times is subjective. If you drink a lot of water by habit you have to go more often. Caffeine can act like a diuretic . Abnormal conditions include infection, or high blood sugar. If none of the above see a urologist, you may need a cystoscopy ie a look inside the bladder.

Question 7

normally how many times in a day we have to urinate?

Accepted Answer

Should every 3-4 h: Healthy voiding is every 3-4 hours during the day. You should sleep through the night.

Question 9

my child has had a new problem of having to urinate many times a day?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Although this is anew finding, it is usually not a significant problem. A basic evaluation should be performed inlcuding a urinalysis and testing to rule out anatomic obstruction. If the workup is normal, then observation or medical therapy are viable options.
