Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I always sweat profusely when exercising, and recently I've been urinating very frequently. I want to ask if these symptoms are related to the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Normal adults urinate an average of 4 to 6 times during the day and 0 to 2 times after going to bed at night; infants urinate 20 to 30 times during the day and night. If the frequency of urination increases significantly and exceeds the above range, it is considered urinary frequency.Increased urine volume: When urine volume increases, the frequency of urination will also correspondingly increase. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a large amount of water, eating watermelon, or drinking beer, due to increased fluid intake, the kidneys' regulatory and filtering functions cause urine volume to increase, leading to more frequent urination and thus urinary frequency. Under pathological conditions, such as in some diabetic patients or patients with diabetes insipidus, increased fluid intake results in increased urine volume and more frequent urination, but there is no discomfort during urination.
