Frequency refers to the number of times you go to the toilet to pass urine in a day. If you need to go to the toilet very often, more than seven times a day on drinking approximately 2 litres of fluid, you may have a frequency problem. This can be caused by an overactive bladder.
Urinary frequency is the need to urinate many times during the day, at night (nocturia), or both but in normal or less-than-normal volumes. Frequency may be accompanied by a sensation of an urgent need to void (urinary urgency).
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. Most people can sleep for 6 to 8 hours without having to urinate.
Simply so, what does frequency of micturition mean? Urinary frequency can be defined as needing to urinate more than 7 times in a period of 24 hours while drinking about 2 liters of fluid. However, individuals differ, and most people only see a doctor when urination becomes so frequent that they feel uncomfortable.
Micturition (urination) is the process of urine excretion from the urinary bladder. Most of the time, the bladder (detrusor muscle) is used to store urine. As it fills, the rugae distend and a constant pressure in the bladder (intra-vesicular pressure) is maintained. This is known as the stress-relaxation phenomenon. Similar Asks.

Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.
Nocturia (derived from Latin nox, night, and Greek [τα] ούρα, urine), also called nycturia (Greek νυκτουρία), is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as “the complaint that the individual has to wake at night one or more times for voiding.” Its causes are varied and, in many patients, difficult to discern.

Urination is a natural process through which our body gets rid of waste fluids, with the bladder playing a vital role in the process. The urine, which contains water, toxins, waste fluids, and uric acid, is stored in the bladder until it reaches a point of fullness and an urge to urinate.
To diagnose the cause of frequent urination, your doctor will perform a physical exam and take a medical history, asking questions such as the following:
