ANSWERS: 1
  • You typically urinate four to eight times a day, and anything beyond is classified as excessive. This might indicate certain health problems. See your doctor if you are experiencing excessive urination.

    Urinary Tract Infection

    Excessive urination accompanied by pain, urgency and a fever indicates a urinary tract infection. A short course of antibiotics can easily clear that up.

    Prostate Issues

    An enlarged prostate or a prostate infection can irritate the bladder and lead to frequent urination, regardless of the amount of urine present.

    Diabetes

    Frequent urination can be an early indicator of both types of diabetes. The body uses urine to excrete unused glucose.

    Neurological Conditions

    Neurological conditions---like a stroke---can affect the nerves that serve the bladder. This can lead to excessive urination.

    Bladder Issues

    You might also experience this problem if you have interstitial cystitis, bladder abnormalities and, in rare cases, bladder cancer. You might also have an overactive bladder.

    Other Causes

    Other possible causes include water pills used for blood pressure, radiation therapy and pregnancy.
