Frequent urination means needing to urinate more often than usual. Urgent urination is a sudden, strong need to urinate. This causes a discomfort in your bladder. Urgent urination makes it difficult to delay using the toilet. A frequent need to urinate at night is called nocturia.
Often, frequent urination is not a symptom of a problem, but is the problem. In people with overactive bladder syndrome, involuntary bladder contractions lead to frequent and often urgent urination, meaning you have to get to a bathroom right now -- even if your bladder is not full.
It's important to distinguish nocturia (urinating too frequently) from polyuria (urinating too much volume).

Eating a balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle can help moderate the output of urine.
