Urination - How much is too much

[Shaun_C]

How often do you guys go urinate in a given day?

In the day time it's generally every couple our hours (like 1 or 2) but after workouts, when I down some fruit juice/cydrax/peardrax for get glucose back in my system. It seems I go every 45-60 mins. And it really doesn't stop. It's like my urine production increases in the evening.

I drink like about a gallon of water a day, plus milk and the afformentioned fruit juice. And it's been my routine for years and it's never been a problem.

I'm going to see a urologist on Monday just to make sure nothing's wrong with me. Like having Type 2 Diabetes or something. But other then frequent urination I share none of the other symptoms. But I'm rambling

How often do you guys go pee?

Re: Urination - How much is too much

bro I consistently go every two hours or so...Like today I drove a 2 hour trip and then back home. I pissed when I got there and once when I got back...lol So around Id say 12 times a day but I ALWAYS have water and am drinking it..My piss is always clear and only yellow after I workout. Clear just means you are fully hydrated and light yellow is fine but if its cloudy or rusty-ish yellow then you are dehydrated and stressing your kidneys. I think you are fine bro.

I more kind of worried because I urinate more frequently at night. I mean my final drink at 12:30am is simply an MRP mixed w/ Flax oil. Yet I wake up every 40 mins to go pee. Hence why I'm going to the specialist (in Canada it doesn't cost anything anyway). And diabetes does run in the family.

That'd be ironic, I workout and eat relatively healthy but could have diabetes

Re: Urination - How much is too much

Sometimes I pee every 20 minutes. I think it all depends on how much water you drink in a day, and how fast you drink it. Sometimes I pee every hour or 2.
I too thought it may be diabetes, as it runs in my family as well. Got blood work, but so far so good.
Your pee should be clear. If mine gets yellow it's a sign to me that I'm not drinking enough. Another thing, if you're thirsty, then you're already dehydrated, You need to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and of course more if you're using gear.
If it runs in your family, I'd say get it checked out. It'll give you peace of mind.

Re: Urination - How much is too much

As a rule of thumb on the trail, 10 times atleast or more. but every 20 mins at night ? thats alot.

Re: Urination - How much is too much

Lol. No, not every 20 minutes at night. And good thing...I sometimes have a hard time sleeping as it is. During the day, and only on some days when I drink large quantities of water within an hour or two of time, is when I go every 20 minutes, but then once it passes through, it's back to once every hour or two.
