How often should you go to the bathroom if you have to go often?

16 Comments

I drink lots of water almost always and have OCD and pretty much always am bothered by constantly needing to go to the bathroom. How often do you need to go, and how often should you?

Whenever you feel like you need to, even if you only kind of need to 20
When you need to, but not interrupting what you are currently doing 16
Almost whenever you need to, but not too often 5
About every 1-2 hours 4
About every 3-4 hours 4

    You should go as often as you need to to be comfortable. Holding your bladder when it is very full is meant to be bad in the long run (I say when I have to do that at work ugh :/ and this is working for a fucking renal specialist ffs) but also, you don't need to empty it if it's just a tiny bit. It's one of those things your body should just be aware of.

    How much water are you drinking, approximately?

    I don't go to the bathroom, ever. I go to the head, and I do that when I need to, to brush my teeth, shower or repair something in there. I also clean it pretty often.

      Wow. You really can't just take a common phrase for its meaning. You have yo be literal and make it about your stupid irrelevant boat.

        So very, very sorry. I didn't think you would get so fucking offended. I guess I'll just have to keep in mind how much charli.m hates my "stupid irrelevant boat" references EVERY SINGLE TIME I POST, huh?
        How about a better solution; you see my screen name you pass it right on by and don't fucking waste your incredibly intelligent relevant time reading them. Both our problems solved!
        Anyway, I thought it would be better than telling the stupid shit every human is different, but hey, obviously not.

          Once again, it's all about you.

          If you don't have anything relevant to say, don't say it. That's my point. You can on occasion be helpful, yet you seem to choose to be a fuckhead and take this as a personal attack instead of relevant criticism of your behaviour.

            You made it all about me when you @thegypsysailor, dumbass! I deserve to say my fucking piece just as much as you do, even if you don't think so.
            Like I said, if you don't like what I have to say, fucking don't waste your time reading my posts.

              Wow. Just wow. What exactly did you say that was of any use to this OP? What exactly does where you piss have to do with the question? And you clearly didn't read what I said, or were too busy blowing up over the perceived attack on your precious boat.

              Careful with that blood pressure, old man.

              I'm glad you had to delete your last response and re reply to me to get your attention you so desperately need.

              Here it is. Attention. All yours. Happy?

    I can never really tell my body to hold that thought for 6 hours or so. In fact yesterday I went with buddy to dump his tanks on travel trailer, after we done and all, suddenly my body is screaming at me "EVERYBODY OUT THE BACK HATCH" So I had to drop a load in parking lot, but I went ahead and flushed the tank again.

    Maybe stop drinking so much water, I think it youre forcing it you don't need that much.
    I don't think its 'normal' to need to go to the toilet more than every 4 hours or so unless you have caffeine or alcohol. Jot a doctor just my opinion.

    Drinking 2 litres in one go can cause medical complications.

    Drinking 2 litres in one day is very healthy.

    Drinking 5 litres in one day or one go could kill you.

      I drank about 15 litres in one day when I was sick, and I didn't get any problems. I read that drinking over a litre a hour causes complications.
      https://authoritynutrition.com/water-intoxication/
      In this article it specifies to not drink more than 1 litre per hour.

      Water is one of the least toxic chemical compounds.
      But still, over 6-7 liters will probably kill an adult.
