How long after drinking a cup of water will you feel the need to pee?
The answer to you question is very simple.It depends on how hydrated you are at that moment. If you are dehydrated, your kidneys will conserve water and it may be hours before you make any urine. If you are overhydrated, you will make urine immediately.When you drink water, it is absorbed through the lining of the small and large intestines into your blood. This absorption occurs at a rate that depends largely on how much water you need at that time. Your body uses the concentration of certain elements to keep track of how much water is in the blood and tissues. If there isn't enough water, you get thirsty and the kidneys filter out less water. If there is too much, your thirst is suppressed and the kidneys filter out more.The kidneys have to produce a small amount of urine constantly to get rid of metabolic wastes. But it also helps maintain the correct amount of water in your body. So if you add a lot of water, your kidneys will detect that and filter out more. This is the reason why your urine is clear when you drink a lot of water and much darker when you don't.
Drinking lots of water and not urinating?
You are dehydrated. Get some electrolytes in you and keep drinking water. If you can get out of the sun and into a cooler area--inside or in shade is best. Stay away from any sodas, alcoholic drinks, or heavily salted items as this will make it worse. Snack on some fruits if you get hungry (especially--you guessed it--watermelon) as they have juices and high-water concentrations. Your urine is a darker yellow because when you get dehydrated your body puts out more waste particles and conserves the water. Therefore what waste you do elliminate will be more pigmented in color. If you have enough or excess amounts of water in your body then your body will still get rid of wastes but also the excess water since it doesn't need it. Then when you urinate it will be clear. Work towards getting your urine clear and you should be fine. Don't drink loads amounts of water at a time as this will cause "drowning" aka Water Poisoning. No matter how dehydrated you get you should never down loads of water at one time. Sipping may be too small since your already dehydrated but drinking in normal gulps in moderate time spaces should be fine. If you experience any other symptoms such as nausea, cold chills, fever, or diarrehea then you need to get inside, get fluids in you IMMEDIATELY, and go to the hospital. They'll give you an IV (it doesn't hurt, trust me, I've had one before) and within an hour you should be right as rain. Hope that helps!
I drink heaps of water, but I don't pee lots!?
First and foremost, questions related to medical line should not be asked in such forums because you will get half-baked answers from inexperienced persons. Instead of clarifying, they will confuse you more. For example someone has just said, "Are you diabetic?" In diabetes there is more frequency of urination. Every body has a different constitution and different needs, some may require more water and some less for normal metabolism. If you do not wake up in the night for peeing it is no problem unless you have constipation or feel lithargic or drained out accompanied by thirst, which indicates dehydration. A thumb-rule to judge relation between water consumption and peeing is: if the colour of urine is abnormally yellow and/or have burning sensation while urinating, on regular basis, indicates dehydration. (Once-in-a-while such occurances are no issues). Also, those who do lots of physical work need more water. I understand you work for a restaurant where you have to exert a lot as well as you are a sports person, so obviously you need more water. Similarly, water retention (excess water in the body requiring less consumption) can be judged by this method: Press your thumb on any thick part of your body, if the resulting dent doesn't vanish immediately and remains for two/three seconds, it indicates water retantion. Generally water retention results into obesity also. The bottom-line is unless you feel sick most of the time and have chronic constipation, you are ok, otherwise must consult a doctor immediately.
Drink a lot of water and not peeing?
If you are drinking 2 bottles of water every other hour and not urinating very much, you should see a doctor immediately. It could be something related to whatever you are doing...such as exercising, etc. Or, it could be something very serious which may lead to hyponatremia....commonly called "water intoxication." This basically means that you have much more water than sodium in your bloodstream. You can't mess around with this because it can be fatal if you are taking in a lot of water and keeping most of it within your body. If however, you are taking in lots of water and eliminating a REASONABLE amount of it through urination, then you are probably simply retaining water for some other reason. This may be anything from PMS to congestive heart failure. In any event, see your doctor as soon as possible. I have included a link for reference: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/hydra... Good luck and God bless.
Why is my pee yellow even after drinking a lot of water for the past few days?
I believe you must see a doctor, preferably a nephrologist.In the mean time, keep drinking lots of water.Also, if you can, have 3–4 glasses of lemon water everyday.But try and see a doctor please.
Yellow pee that smells, but im drinking lots of water?
Well it depends, it could be a urine infection this happens to people at times. It could also be the cause of something new, did you just start a new medication or eating something out of the ordinary for the pass few weeks. It could be something like this but I would go see a doctor.
Drinking water makes me pee every 5 minutes - lead singer in a band?
So I am the lead singer in a band and in order to sing well I have to drink TONS of water. The problem is that in practice (we aren't gigging yet) I have to pee literally after every song. I apparently have a tiny bladder no matter if I am drinking tons of water or not because I normally go a lot anyway but particularly with water, coffe, beer etc.I thought that maybe it was beer that was causing the issue so I drank only water yesterday all day and during practice but it didn't help at all.I am going to talk to my doctor about it but I don't think it's really a medical issue. I had hoped that once my body got used to massive water intake that it would even out but it is NOT getting better after a couple of months of majorly increasing my water intake. I will never be able to make it through a set without having to stop constantly to go to the bathroom when we do get a gig - which will be coming up within the next couple of months. I can't be the only vocalist with this issue but I couldn't find anything helpful on any band forums. I guess most people are too shy to ask about their bladder! LOL Any tips would be awesome!
I'm sick, I've been drinking lots of fluids, but I've hardly peed, please help?
Your body is probably really dehydrated from doing all the above stuff, and getting stressed out so its likely you have the flu as well.
I drink a lot of water, but I never really get the urge to urinate. I don’t think I’m dehydrated even though it’s summer. Is something wrong with me?
Yes, your perception of what “_a lot of water” actually means is faulty. If you're young, active and its hot 2 or 3liters if water is “_a lot” not 3 or 4 glasses.If you're not peeing you aren't drinking enough. Unless your legs are huge, or your stomach is grossly distended you are sweating out what you drink. Eventually you wil get painful kidney stones, your skin will look crap and your eyes will hurt.Drink enough liquids, preferable plain water, until your urine is the colour of light wheat straw. Any darker and you are dehydrated .
How come I don't urinate more when I drink more water?
This is probably because you do not seem to be drinking enough water regularly.Thus when you do get enough you tend to hoard it in your fat cells or other places and gain weight. This is called water retention.You urinate regularly not just to purge excess water but also to purge chemicals and biologicals that your body wants to get rid of. Things like pollution, viruses, metabolites and a whole lot of other waste.You don’t urinate more when you drink more because aparently your body is so low on water that it is rationing your urination and retaining water when available.If you drink say 2L per day for several days you will probably begin to urinate more as your body’s water stockpiles fill up and you have no more room to retain it.It may take additional time for your body to stop retaining so much water though. So as funny as this sounds if you drink more you may end up retaining less. It will just take time for your body to build confidence in the new environment.
