During a day, a healthy person releases an average of 1500-2000 ml of urine, which is about 75% of the fluid taken by him for the day( the rest is excreted with sweat and feces).The frequency of urination normally ranged from 4 to 6 times a day.

If you take more fluids or drink frequently, this can happen more often. If frequent urination does not depend on fluid intake, this may indicate a disease.

The first is associated with an increase in the total volume of urine( also known as polyuria).The second - with dysfunction of urination, in which there are problems with the storage of urine and emptying the bladder. Finally, there may be urinary incontinence( involuntary loss of urine).

Causes of frequent urination

Rapid urination is characteristic of lower urinary tract and prostate diseases. Moreover, with each urination a small amount of urine is released;the total amount allocated for the day does not exceed the norm( 1500-2000 ml).

Rapid urination can be pronounced - 15-20 times a day or more.

Rapid urination can be observed only during the day and during movement, disappearing at night and at rest, which is usually the case with stones in the bladder.
