Polyuria. If you're having frequent urges to urinate, you may be experiencing polyuria. Another symptom of UTI, it's the medical term for frequent or excessive urination. A person with this symptom might expel more than 2.5 liters of urine per day compared with the normal volume of 2 liters among healthy individuals.
ICD-10-CM Code for Urgency of urination R39.
For most people, the normal number of times to urinate per day is between 6 – 7 in a 24 hour period. Between 4 and 10 times a day can also be normal if that person is healthy and happy with the number of times they visit the toilet.
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).
fre·quen·cy (ν), (frē'kwen-sē), The number of regular recurrences in a given time, for example, heartbeats, sound vibrations.
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.
