The human body is a complex mechanism that functions according to its own regime. Some people feel the urge to urinate 4-5 times a day. Others rush to the toilet every 2-3 hours. For some, the daily morning stool is considered the norm. Others – empty the intestines twice a day or once every 2 days. What is considered the norm and what is considered a deviation? What pathologies can there be an increase or decrease in urination and defecation? How many times should a person normally go to the toilet?
The natural work of the body
The functioning of the urinary and gastrointestinal systems depends on many factors. Among them:
food (drinks, food);
ambient temperature;
climatic conditions;
concomitant pathologies;
taking medicines;
amount of water consumed;
age and condition of a person.
Despite the many factors that can affect the frequency of toilet visits, there are certain norms of daily urination and defecation. It is within these limits that a healthy body functions.
Normal urination
What is the accepted urination rate? Doctors believe that adults should use the toilet on average 4-8 times a day. At the same time, up to 10 urinations per day are considered the norm for women.
Sometimes the urge to go to the toilet can occur at night. If a person visited the toilet once a night, then this is not considered a pathology. More frequent urination during sleep, especially if other unpleasant symptoms are observed, indicates the development of diseases in the body.
