The doctor said if you urinate at night this many times, you need to see a doctor immediately.

Experts say how often you urinate during the day can suggest a lot about your health.

During the day, most healthy people urinate about 6-8 times. For most people, urinating every 3-4 hours during the day is reasonable, said Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, a urologist at Orlando Health (USA).

He added: At night, ideally just once or none at all. Two or more times at night means something is wrong and needs to be checked out immediately.

Waking up to pee at night two or more times means something is wrong and you need to see a doctor immediately.

According to the Cleveland Clinic (USA), common causes include medications or drinking too much fluid before bed. However, it can also be due to health problems, including:

Reduced bladder capacity : Your bladder may not fill or empty completely when you urinate. Bladder blockage, swelling, infection, and bladder pain can cause this condition.

Polyuria (the body produces too much urine for the bladder to hold).

Diabetes .

High blood pressure .

Prostate enlargement or prostate obstruction .

Heart disease or congestive heart failure .

Obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep disorders .

Pelvic organ prolapse .

Childbirth, pregnancy or menopause .

Restless legs syndrome .

Edema.

Many diseases cause nocturia, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

How much pee is healthy and how much is too much?

Some people may urinate up to 10 times a day, especially if they drink a lot of water or diuretic drinks like alcohol, tea and coffee, which irritate the bladder, according to Dr. David Shusterman, a urologist at NY Urology Hospital, New York (USA).

Everyone is different, says Dr. Brahmbhatt. It's important to know what's normal for you. If you're suddenly going more or less, get it checked out.

Excessive urination can also be caused by overactive bladder syndrome, diabetes, urinary tract infections, or medications, explains Dr. Brahmbhatt. Blood pressure or heart medications are often diuretics, so they are also a common culprit.

Dr. Jason Kim, clinical associate professor of urology at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York (USA), explains that frequent urination can also be caused by stroke, spinal cord injury and some neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and central nervous system tumors. Dr. Shusterman says that pregnancy also causes more frequent urination.

Stress or anxiety can also cause the bladder to contract or increase urine production, leading to frequent urination, says Shusterman.

If frequent urination bothers you or you frequently urinate at night, see your doctor to determine the cause and do bladder training.

Signs of urinating too little, why?

If you urinate only once every 6 to 8 hours or less than 4 times a day, it could be due to dehydration, bladder or kidney problems, or bladder stones blocking urine from draining.

Holding in urine can increase your risk of many problems, such as kidney infections or weak bladder muscles due to constant straining.

If you have followed the instructions well but still cannot urinate enough, you need to see a doctor to see if the cause is due to obstruction, Dr. Kim noted.

Obstructive urinary retention is when the urethra is blocked and urine cannot pass, he explained. Enlarged prostates in men and tight urethras in older women are the cause of most cases of urinary retention, Dr. Shusterman said, according to CNN .
