As women age, particularly after 40, many experience increased urinary frequency. Dr. Martina Ambardjieva, a urologist, highlights that this is a common concern. Drinking a lot of water can lead to frequent bathroom visits, considered normal at about six to eight times a day. Factors such as fluid intake, consumption of caffeine or alcohol, medications, and anxiety levels can also affect urination frequency. Understanding these details can help alleviate concerns about underlying health issues related to increased urination.
Most of us clock it quickly when we're not peeing enough. But, according to Ambardjieva, there is a generally accepted metric we can go by.
On average, urinating six to eight times per day is considered normal for most adults, but this can vary based on factors like fluid intake.
Frequent urination can simply mean the body is processing that fluid efficiently, especially for those who drink a lot of water.
I often see and treat women - particularly in their mid-adult years - who come to my clinic with this frustrating complaint.
