The amount of urine that the bladder can hold is 700 ml in a mans bladder and 500 ml of urine in a woman's bladder.

Children's and babies bladders are much smaller and hold less urine.

Urinating every 2 hours is normal.

Some people urinate every 30 minutes to an hour and some people urinate every 2 to 3 hours.

There's no set amount of times that a person urinates and the more you drink the more you're gonna urinate.

Also in summertime when it's hot out and you're sweating you'll most often urinate less often due to sweating even though you're drinking a lot.

In the cooler weather I may urinate every 30 minutes to an hour but in summertime when I'm sweating it may be 2 to 3 hours before I urinate.

As long as you're drinking plenty of fluids and urinating every 3 to 4 hours per day you're usually okay and healthy.

If you don't urinate within 5 to 6 hours then you may be dehydrated.

Just be sure to drink plenty of water, tea, or other healthy fluids and you should keep urinating.

Always drink fluids before you actually become thirsty.

It's considered normal to have to urinate about six to eight times in a 24-hour period.

If you're going more often than that, it could simply mean that you may be drinking too much fluid or consuming too much caffeine, which is a diuretic and flushes liquids out of the body.

Ideally adults should be urinating about every three to four hours while they're awake, though the frequency may change depending on how much and what you're drinking or eating, or whether you're pregnant.

An excessive volume of urination for an adult is more than 2.5 liters (about 67 fluid ounces or about 2.6 quarts) of urine per day.

However, this can vary depending on how much water you drink and what your total body water is.

This problem is different from needing to urinate often.
