How Often Should You Pee?
Every 2.5-3 hours. People wee (pee) around 6-7 times per 24 hours: 5-6 times in the daytime, ans 0-1 at night. So, if you are awake for 16 hours, this means you will wee (pee) every 2.5-3 hours.
If you drink 2-2.5 L a day, after 500 mls insensible loss (through breathing, poo and sweat), you will make about 1.5-2 L of urine.
The human bladder holds upto 300 mls – yes, it is quite small. This leads to the frequency of urination described above.
After we eat, the body removes nutrients from food and leaves behind waste in our bloodstreams.
The kidneys filter the blood to remove impurities, and remove excess water. What’s produced by that is urine, and we have to get rid of the urine.
Urine travels from the kidneys through tubes called ureters to the bladder. The whole system is called the urinary tract.
