Passing Urine Too Often: What Counts As Too Often
More than eight times a day, or waking more than once at night, is worth assessing — particularly if it is a change from your own normal.

Questions patients ask
- What does functional urology mean?
- It deals with how the bladder stores and empties urine, rather than with a lump or a stone. Urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying and bladder problems related to nerve conditions all sit here.
- What is a urodynamic study for?
- It measures bladder pressure and flow during filling and emptying, which separates an overactive bladder from an obstructed or poorly contracting one. Those look identical from the outside and need opposite treatment.
- How often is too often to pass urine?
- More than about eight times in the day, or waking more than once at night, is worth assessing — particularly if it is a change from your own normal.
