A member asked:
Only urinating 2-4x/day. drinking 1-2l of water/day. is this normal output? i feel bloated somewhat. short of diuretics what can i do to flush?

Nothing: Your urine output seems adequate and there is no need for concern. Diuretics are not indicated to simply increase urine production. You can try drinking more fluids as the natural way to make more urine.

Need more info: It is not important how many times you urinate , it is the total amount of urine . If you drink 2 lit / day you should urinate a little less just beacouse you also eliminate fluids through the skin. If you retain water for long enough you should start seeing swelling in you legs otherwsie i doubt that is the case.
