After drinking water you should pee within 1 hour to 2 hours although some people may pee after 30 minutes.
If you're sweating then you may pee less as you lose the fluid through your sweat.
After drinking water it usually takes 1 hour to 2 hours to pee.
If you're sweating more then it may take longer to pee after drinking water as you lose some of the water through sweat which means less water turns into pee so you pee less.
When your pee is clear like water it's a sign that you're over hydrated and drinking too much water or other liquids.
It's good to be properly hydrated but drinking too much water can be unhealthy as well.
Usually though the pee that is clear like water is not a cause for concern and your pee should return to normal once you stop drinking as much water.
Clear pee is good as it's a sign that your kidneys are healthy, your urinary tract is healthy and a sign that you're hydrated.
However if your urine becomes too clear it can be a sign that you're drinking too much water.
With diabetes you may pee more than 8 or 9 times per day.
Most people pee between 4 to 7 times per day but it can be normal to pee more than that even without health issues.
One of the most common early signs of diabetes is a need to pee more often during the day.
But it can also happen at night.
When there's too much sugar in your blood, which happens if you have diabetes, your kidneys have to work harder to get rid of it.
This forces them to make more urine.
Holding your pee for an hour should not cause any issue other than being painful.
However if you hold your pee longer than an hour or hold your pee too long it can weaken your bladder and also cause bladder infections and Urinary Tract Infections.
When you feel like you have to pee after you already peed and you have no pain you most often have an Overactive Bladder.
OAB, causes a frequent and sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control.
You may feel like you need to pass urine many times during the day and night, and may also experience unintentional loss of urine (urgency incontinence).
When you feel like you have to pee and only have a little pee come out it means you either have a bladder infection, Urinary Tract Infection, or even an enlarged prostate.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a “gotta go now” feeling.
You have the urge to pee even though your bladder isn't full.
OAB can lead to a condition called urinary incontinence where you leak urine.
The longest someone has gone without peeing is 26 hours.
After that time the person would release the urine even when they tried to hold back.
Your bladder can hold 24 ounces of urine before it explodes if you don't release the urine.
However your bladder would naturally release the urine in the bladder after 10 hours or so before the bladder exploded.
Some people can go up to 10 hours without urinating.
However if you haven't urinated within 8 to 10 hours then you may be dehydrated.
Oliguria is a medical term for low urine output (how much you pee).
In the case of an adult, this means less than 400 milliliters (mL) to 500 mL (around two cups) of urine per 24 hours.
The numbers depend on weight in terms of children and infants.
Peeing 20 times a day can be normal for some people and for others peeing 20 times or more per day could be an indication of a health issue that should be checked out.
For most people, the normal number of times to urinate per day is between 6 – 7 in a 24 hour period.
Between 4 and 10 times a day can also be normal if that person is healthy and happy with the number of times they visit the toilet.
Regularly urinating more than seven times per day may be normal for some people and may not be a sign of a health problem.
It is normal to pee every 30 minutes.
Some people pee more often than others which is normal and healthy although some people who pee too much may have an overactive bladder.
However the more you drink the more you'll need to pee.
You may need to pee every 30 minutes to an hour or you may not need to pee until after every 2 to 3 hours.
If you drink things such as caffeinated coffee then you may need to pee every 10 to 20 minutes which is normal.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common cause of urinary retention.
Other common causes of urinary retention include prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, and vulvovaginitis; receiving medications in the anticholinergic and alpha-adrenergic agonist classes; and cortical, spinal, or peripheral nerve lesions.
Urinary retention is a condition in which you cannot empty all the urine from your bladder.
Urinary retention can be acute a sudden inability to urinate, or chronic a gradual inability to completely empty the bladder of urine.
As you get older it's harder to pee because when you get older your elastic tissue becomes stiffer and the bladder becomes less stretchy.
Urinary hesitancy affects people of all ages and occurs in both sexes.
However, it is most common in older men with an enlarged prostate gland.
Urinary hesitancy most often develops slowly over time.
You may not notice it until you are unable to urinate (called urinary retention).
Bladder capacity does tend to reduce with age.
The older you get the less your bladder tends to hold so you may need to urinate more often or risk peeing your pants.
A person's ability to delay urination after first sensing a need to urinate also declines.
The rate of urine flow out of the bladder and into the urethra slows.
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.
