The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Frequent urination
I normally do not take medicine. For the past two years I've been eating almost no processed food, very little sodium and sugar. I drink 100 oz or more of water. A little coffee. No other drinks. I have gone through menopause. I am active and healthy.My problem is frequent and urgent urination. Usually every 30 minutes or so. I get up at least 5 times a night. I try and drink all of my water by 1 or 2 in the afternoon, hoping I'll be able to sleep through the night. That hasn't helped.
There is no pain and it's a normal amount each time. Sometimes I have to rush or I'll leak. I've had to leave meetings, stop activities, worry about being too far from a restroom, stop driving and run into a restaurant.
I finally went to the doctor, who prescribed vesicare, which I've been taking for 3 weeks with almost no improvement.

I am following a diet plan that recommends no processed foods, 5 smaller meals every 3 hours and 100 oz of water per day.
I normally am a water drinker, I never drink soda or juices, just water and coffee.

So, did you happen to address this issue with your diet plan expert? If yes, what did he say?
I believe that you are drinking too much water on daily basis. Usually, 7-8 glasses are enough to satisfy the body needs. Too much water may lead to water intoxication, frequent urge for urination and create several other problems.
Many prayers for your good health.
