Common Queries

How many times a day does a healthy person urinate?

Urination frequency varies widely, but most healthy people use the bathroom four to eight times a day. More frequent urination or waking up at night to go to the bathroom may signal a health problem or simply that you're drinking too much before or at bedtime.

What is a urodynamic test?

Urodynamics refers to the mechanisms of your urinary tract. Urodynamic testing is an analysis of how well the bladder, urethra and muscles (sphincters) function to control voiding, or the elimination of urine. These tests help urologists treat problems with storing urine or voiding.

It’s painful to urinate. What could be causing the problem?

There are many conditions that could result in painful urination. An infection of the urinary tract or prostate is a common cause, along with obstructions in the urethra, kidney, bladder, or prostate.

When should I see a doctor about lack of urine control?

An individual should seek medical attention when lack of urinary control interrupts everyday activities and degrades a patient’s quality of life.
