Decreased urination

Decreased urination

Link copied

Basically, decreased urination is in 1 of 2 forms: (1) urinating less total volume in a day than usual, or (2) urinating fewer times per day (or not at all) than usual. The former is oliguria, the latter is anuria. The problem can be caused by a variety of factors, from kidney disease, to bladder / prostate / urethra probs, to simple lack of volume (dehydration). Use HealthTap Prime to find cause.
