Quick poll: how much do you drink a day and how often do you have a wee?

[phoenixflower]

I drink about 3 cups of water a day ( if that - and usually nothing else). I wee quite a lot - prob every 2 hours ish ( sometimes more/less) - if I drunk more, could I end up weeing less?

You are probably not drinking enough really. More concentrated urine is more irritating to the bladder, so yes, you could end up weeing less often, but more dilute urine, if you drank a bit more.

Water in foods count too, but even so, it sounds like you are not drinking enough really. Urine should be very pale colour, except maybe first wee of the day can look a bit stronger as you don't tend to drink in the night.

I drink a couple of litres over a day, maybe more I pee a lot, but much more after drinking tea.

You need to hold on for the loo for 10 minutes, when you feel like going, and increase by more time when you are able to do 10 mins. You're going to often, you need to retrain your bladder.

cocolepew -that is deffo part of the problem - I am at home all time at the moment so as soon as I think 'oo I need the loo' I just go straight away!!

I was the same, sometimes I do it in work for a walk! I had to see a continence nurse after having DD. She made me do this and I had to measure how much I wee'd- it was a pitiful amount I wrote down the times I went as well.

I drink constantly, am rarely without a drink, and erm... not sure about the loo. I do 'hold on' usually because I am doing 1001 things but don't give it mush thought. Can be the only time in the day I sit down sometimes!

i wee all the time i have a drink of water say and wee about 4 times in an hour . I have a large fibroid and i think it is pressing on my bladdr sometimes it drives me nuts and if i have caffine its every 20 minutes or so im always looking for a toilet when we go anywhere

Maybe I should start doing that cocolepew!

Mittz - sounds like you have a very strong bladder!

vintage - I am the same! My youngest DD is 4 so she is often the excuse for needing to find a toilet, even though it is actually me!!
