Most people think they urinate “too often,” but what’s actually normal?
For most adults, it takes about 20 to 30 seconds to empty your bladder and 6 to 8 trips to the bathroom during the day is completely normal. Waking up once, or sometimes more, at night can also be normal depending on your age and fluid intake.
One of the biggest reasons people p*e more often? They’re drinking massive amounts of water because they think they should. If you double your fluid intake, your bladder has to keep up.
If you’re going much more often, leaking, feeling urgency, or getting up multiple times every night, it may be worth getting evaluated.
