How many wees do you do in a day?

I feel as if I'm constantly peeing. I'm counting today to see how many I do but it's eight so far since 7am and I need another now.
How many do you think you do on an average day?

5 or 6

nbee84 · 12/10/2020 14:55

About 10 - 12 and 1 in the middle of the night! I drink about 3 litres of water/squash a day.

doctorhamster · 12/10/2020 14:56

A lot. I have the bladder capacity of a very small child.

bettybyebye · 12/10/2020 14:57

Loads! Have probably already been 8-10 times so far. I have a small bladder and drink a lot of water!

ReceptacleForTheRespectable · 12/10/2020 14:57

Lots, but I drink a lot through the day so it's to be expected.

emmathedilemma · 12/10/2020 17:13

Sometimes as much as once an hour during the day. I drink a lot though!

CatsAndEyeliner · 12/10/2020 17:19

I was told by a urologist that for good bladder health we should stop every three hours to have a drink and do a wee.

If you constantly sip throughout the day, or have a lot of cold drinks, then it can make you wee more.

Callybrid · 12/10/2020 17:29

I never wee more than two or three times a day but I know I’m on the low side!

I think the question that’s more important is what’s normal for you and if this isn’t then something’s changed and may well warrant investigation (unless you just started drinking ten times as much water as usual and forgot to mention that!)

Any other salient symptoms/changes?

Betty94 · 12/10/2020 17:29

I'm pregnant so I'm never actually off the loo Blush

lazylinguist · 12/10/2020 17:32

Maybe 4 or 5? I probably drink a bit less water than I should, but I've never had any bladder issues.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 12/10/2020 17:34

Probably ten. Dh says I'm like a rat, I constantly need a wee. I can do a wee, brush my teeth, then do another one, then do another one before going to sleep.

ifiwasascent · 12/10/2020 17:35

Loads! I'm usually up twice in the night as well!

TeddyBeans · 12/10/2020 17:48

4 or 5? One in the morning, one at work, one when I get home and then either one or two before bed

CarolVordermansBum · 12/10/2020 17:50

Probably around 20, i have to get up in the night too. I've had four babies and my bladder is just not what it used to be

whatsthestoryinbalamory · 12/10/2020 17:56

3 or 4 . Morning, twice in the afternoon and then once before bed .

My bladder’s buggered though .

Pieceofpurplesky · 12/10/2020 17:57

I'm a teacher and have to have a bladder like a horse!

Mamagotskills · 12/10/2020 18:00

I’m gonna say 8, I think, roughly

Janaih · 12/10/2020 18:03

Glad it's not just me that wees non stop. At least every hour. If I had one wish it would be to not have to plan my life around toilet opportunities.

lljkk · 12/10/2020 18:05

Maybe 12 if I don't have any caffeinated drinks.
more if caffeine.

I drink a lot of fluids, mind.

kwest · 12/10/2020 18:11

A lot here too. It’s a balancing act between drinking enough to stay hydrated and avoid headaches and not too much that I’m on loo constantly. Always twice at night which is rubbish for sleep quality. Some days worse than others though although I joke that in a few years time I’ll need to be walking round with a catheter attached 😞

ScarMatty · 12/10/2020 20:54

3-4 times. Drinks around 2-3 litres a day

Passmethecrisps · 12/10/2020 20:56

About one an hour I think. Usually one through the night. I can’t leave the house without having a just in case wee and the first thing I do when I get to my destination is have a wee

TazMac · 12/10/2020 20:57

15 plus but I drink a litre of water plus a large coffee and a couple of large peppermint teas. So 2-3 litres a day.

TazMac · 12/10/2020 20:58

I think my water bill will be going up soon. I’m working from home so weeing at home, rather than the office.

frustrationcentral · 12/10/2020 20:58

I'm probably about 4, maybe 5 at a push. Rarely wake at night for one either. I am notorious for not drinking enough though and can often get to 3/4pm having not had a cold drink ( and just 1/2 coffees)

I know that's not a good thing!
