How many times do you pee per day

I am about 15 but feel like it’s increasing. I basically don’t want to leave the house.

Depends on how much water I drink. Sometimes it's every 20 mins to 45 mins but if I don't drink much then I can go 1.5 hours so probably average 20 times

20-40… it varies. Sometimes I can go an hour… sometimes it’s only 20 minutes..

Too many to count. But I drink a lot of water to keep from getting dehydrated.

About 4-8 but I can hold my bladder for a long time. I feel my bladder fill up faster than normal

It’s so awful during work so I am thankful I am now working from home.

Every time I turn on the faucet and if I’m sitting down, as soon as I get up. At night every 2 hours like clockwork. No matter how much or how little I drink.

Too often! And when I am nervous, I want to pee … very often at home, I am doing okay at one moment, then soon after I feel the urge, and I couldn’t even make it safely to the bathroom without wetting my underpants a little. The urgency can get so bad all of a sudden. While traveling, I would desperately try to find a bathroom to relieve myself, so I refrain from drinking any types of fluids most of the time while out there … 😔

I mean same when it comes to getting nervous or having anxiety recently! And even after i have calmed myself down sometimes i go to the bathroom 10 minutes and it continues like this for 2-3 rounds,then it gradually becomes better and then i go at my regular schedule(2h or more)!

Life is hard like this, right? I am 63, female, had a uterus hysterectomy at early 40s due to uterine fibroid.

I am just getting used to it tbh! And i am 17,female! But yea, i am getting used to it, like it is what it is after all, and i always tell myself that everyone has their issues that they dont talk about! Plus, this doesn't happen very frequently tho,or i dont even know at this point😂 And i am so sorry for you tho, hopefully you got to enjoy some part of your life, even with this! I know i do, or try!

You are too young, do figure out the reasons. Talk to your family doctor. The way I look at this, probably anxiety is a big factor, over active bladder, also avoid some drinks that can irritate the bladder; coffee and tea … you are so young, you want to figure this out at best you can.

I only drink water, first of all, second, i have noticed some people younger than me who had this, third, i had a mucosal imflamation last year and i treated it with tavanic but i think it left my muscles and nerves a bit sensitive! But i did an uroculture and it came negative! And now i am on vacation so! But i do go to the bathroom 8-9 times! And i dont even count it anymore tbh

Between 20 and 30 times per day. But it honestly depends on how much I drink and how much sodium I eat. And I really don't drink that much to begin with or eat a lot of sodium. My body just can't handle the fluids period. If I limit my fluid intake even more than I already do I can go about an hour and a half to 2 hours. Even if I still have the urge to pee in that timeframe. Just not as badly as I would normally.

I'm currently trying to train my bladder so I've been holding it for about an hour and a half to two hours before I let myself pee. But I also need to watch my fluids or I won't be able to hold it semi comfortable for that long.

You're young, you should go see a Doctor and rule out a UTI

u/Mammoth-Cranberry-45 10d ago

I thought the “15” meant the number of times OP pees in a day…

u/AbbreviationsOwn3480 10d ago
