Here's why some people need to pee more frequently than the others

When I was a 4 or 5, I remember my mother telling me to pee before I left home. She used to say that it would be difficult to find a public restroom and who knows what infections I would be exposed to. Now that I am a grown-up, nobody needs to remind me of these things because nature does its job pretty well. But what if nature reminded you that you needed to pee quite frequently? Not a pretty picture, is it? Here, it is noteworthy to mention that in 2017, India built a total of more than 52 million public washrooms all over the country. One of the main reasons behind this step by the Government of India to drive such a significant installation of toilets in India was that in 2011, only 53 percent of households in India had a toilet. Anyhow! That’s a story for another day, here let us talk about why some people need to go to the bathroom more than the others. As someone who has a bladder the size of a peanut, I can say I have done my share of research.

There are some people who think that this urge to pee frequently is quite normal. There are others who are anxious about their well-being and its connection to their frequent urge to pee. Here is what you should know about frequent urination— Introduction to Frequent Urination

Frequent urination is the condition where one has an urge to pass urine more often than usual. Apart from being a sign of an underlying medical condition, it can also disrupt one's daily routine. Some even feel ashamed about this and try to hold their pee in, which again is not something that you should do.


Patients who suffer from frequent urination often complain about disruption in sleep or insomnia (because they cannot put away the thought of urge to pee again in a few minutes). One thing that you should know here is that frequent urination is not the same as urine incontinence. Urine incontinence is a medical condition where a person does not have control over pee until he/she reaches the restroom and leaks urine before time.

Also, bladder starts to bleed and thus, the body feels the urge to pee because there is excess urine in the body as it mixes up with blood.
