Frequent Urination - Normal?

[StewDogg]

Got another question I figure I'll ask.

Every since I upped myself to a truly acceptable level of water intake (most people don't have it of course) I have been urinating probably once ever 2-3 hours. But recently I really upped it agfter upping the protein due to the diuretic effect of it and now I'm peeing every hour to an hour and a half or so. They are strong full pees. I'm probably intaking about 120-130 oz of water a day plus 4 diet sodas (usually dt mt dew).

This normal, or something wrong I need to get checked out? Oh, also, no pain while I pee, and the stream is steady. But when I gotta go, I gotta go.

TIA.

Anyone?

It's all about the I&O's. (ins and outs)..Obviously if you are intaking a lot of fluids than you are going to out put a lot. It is when you are not having large intake but the output is a lot. Or like you stated pain, bleeding, a weak stream that begins or ends, or when you are only out putting tiny amounts at a time.
Just keep an eye on your input.

I piss constantly. wake up 3-4 times in the middle of the night to piss sometimes. sucks

Coul be due to BHP...aka enlarged prostate or some urinary infection...

I had once urinary infection and had those symptoms ...Gotta get a urinalysis to see if there is an infection!

I think it's normal, when I was lifting and taking in more fluids I urinated what seemed like every 5 minutes.. only when I became fat and lazy did I stop pissing so much..

I thought I had a problem,as I had the same problem, went to the doc and he told me its very normal and not to worry

That sounds very normal since you're taking in over a gallon a day of fluids. I have pretty much the same situation as you. I go to the bathroom so much at work, I think people think something is up. It sucks going to the pisser so often, but hydration is way more important. As long as you're stream is strong I wouldn't worry.

HATE to call you on this one bro but I used to think just like you and just in the past 3 months I've lost over 50 lbs of mass and muscle! Let me explain. 3 months ago I had knee surgery and was stuck in bed for 12 weeks and put on a high protien diet and I was drinking H20 just like the rest of you pissing 5-7 times a night and thought nothing of it till I started losing weight . And it wouldn't stop . Went had blood test and nothing was wrong . a few weeks lter BAM my Blood sugar shot up to 890mg and that's the one thing you got to stay on top of diffrent my doc tells me I have gear induced diabeties and now I'm a type 1 diabetic! so get your blood sugar check don't bust your ass for a dream body all to piss it away in a few onths because you didn't "know"!

Although I think it will probably be normal considering your water intake, I do think you should have a urinalysis done to check for glucose and protein in your urine. Polyuria is a sign of diabetes, but without other symptoms and with your increased water intake (provided you purposefully chose to drink more water and not that you're thirsty all the time), then I doubt you'll have diabetes. Your mentioning of increased protein intake causing increasing polyuria is concerning for proteinuria, an early sign of kidney failure.

I would see a physician so a urinalysis can be done to check for glucose and protein in your urine.
