"Urine" for ordinary people is actually a waste excreted by the body, but it is clinically a barometer for judging health!
It should be known that the formation and discharge of urine are mainly involved in two major organs, namely the kidneys and the bladder.
The kidneys are the organs that produce urine, which are generated by urine and play a role in balancing water electrolytes and blood pressure. The bladder, on the other hand, is the organ that stores and excretes urine, and when the kidneys form urine, it is transported to the bladder with the ureter.
After the urinary system and kidney diseases, it will affect the color, smell and frequency of urine. Especially after kidney disease, metabolic disease, tumor disease, prostate disease appear, the first thing will change the frequency of urination in patients. Whether it is an abnormal increase or decrease in urination, it can be a signal of the arrival of the disease.
So the question is, how many times a man urinates a day, is it a manifestation of physical health?
In clinical terms, the number of urinations is not the key to determining health, after all, everyone's bladder capacity is different. Therefore, whether urinating is normal or not depends mainly on the amount of urine.
In general, the human bladder capacity is about 300-400ml. The amount of urine excreted by healthy men per day is about 1000-2000ml, with an average of about 1500ml. If you convert it to the frequency of urination, it is about 5-6 times of urination throughout the day and 0-2 times of urination throughout the night.
The reason why there is no fixed data, in addition to the difference in bladder capacity, is also related to the male living environment, eating habits, water intake and other factors. For example, work makes you sweat a lot, the water content and water intake of food on the day, the high temperature, etc., will affect the frequency of urination, resulting in an increase or decrease in urination, which is a normal physiological manifestation.
So the question is, which kind of urination frequency changes, do you need to be vigilant?
Occasional changes in the frequency of urination do not need to be overly nervous, but if the frequency of urination suddenly changes in the case of diet and drinking water in the near future, and lasts for a few days, this may be a signal of the arrival of the disease!
According to the data available in clinical practice, if men have recently urinated abnormally, especially the frequent urination at night, more than 3-5 times, and even affect the sleep state, this may be a manifestation of kidney disease, diabetes, urinary system disease, prostate disease and other problems.
Renal disease and diabetes should be highly suspected here, as urinary and prostate disease usually causes increased urination throughout the day, with increased nocturia as the main manifestation;
If the frequency of urination in men is abnormally reduced recently, the total urine output throughout the day is less than 400 ml, or the total urine output per hour is less than 17 m, which may be related to acute nephritis, kidney or bladder malignancy, heart failure and other diseases.
In the clinical view, the symptoms of oliguria are far more terrible than polyuria, especially in patients who originally have kidney disease, and recently there have been symptoms such as oliguria and anuria, which is likely to be a signal that kidney failure has arrived.
Finally, I would like to remind men that the increase or decrease in the number of occasional urinations is mostly related to physiological factors, which can be adjusted from the perspective of diet.
However, if there has been a frequent increase or decrease in urination abnormalities recently, and there is a significant change in the frequency of urination compared with before, this may be a signal of the arrival of serious diseases, and it is necessary to seek medical examination in time.
