Urination helps remove toxins and balance fluids. But urinating excessively (over 2.5 liters a day) — called polyuria — might signal an issue.
### Common Causes:
* **Drinking too much fluid** (water, tea, coffee, alcohol)
* **Diabetes** (high blood sugar causes frequent urination)
* **Urinary Tract Infections** (bladder irritation)
* **Diuretic medications** (increase urine output)
* **Prostate problems** (in men, enlarged prostate presses bladder)
* **Anxiety and stress** (nervous system triggers more urination)
* **Kidney disease** (impaired fluid regulation)
### When to See a Doctor:
If frequent urination comes with thirst, fatigue, pain, weight loss, or urine changes, seek medical advice. Early diagnosis helps treat underlying issues.
### Bottom Line:
Frequent urination can be normal sometimes, but persistent changes deserve attention to avoid serious problems.
