Average urine production in adult humans is around 1.4 L (0.31 imp gal; 0.37 US gal) of urine per person per day with a normal range of 0.6 to 2.6 L (0.13 to 0.57 imp gal; 0.16 to 0.69 US gal) per person per day, produced in around 6 to 8 urinations per day depending on state of hydration, activity level, environmental factors, weight, and the ...
What’s healthy versus excessive urination. Some people may pee up to 10 times per day, especially if they’re drinking a lot of water or other beverages that cause more frequent urination ...
If you feel the urge to pee more than 10 times a day but when you go to use the bathroom you aren’t producing any urine, Dr. Moledina says this could be a sign of a urinary tract infection.
The normal number of times varies according to the age of the person. Among young children, urinating 8 to 14 times each day is typical. This decreases to 6–12 times per day for older children, and to 4–6 times per day among teenagers. [4]
A post-void residual urine greater than 50 ml is a significant amount of urine and increases the potential for recurring urinary tract infections. [citation needed] In adults older than 60 years, 50-100 ml of residual urine may remain after each voiding because of the decreased contractility of the detrusor muscle. [7]
[8] [22] The sample can be collected at any time of the day, [23] but the first urine of the morning is preferred because it is more concentrated. [24] To prevent contamination, a "midstream clean-catch" technique is recommended, in which the genital area is cleaned before urinating and the sample is collected partway through the urination.

The flow of urine through the urethra has an overall excitatory role in micturition, which helps sustain voiding until the bladder is empty. [17] Many men, and some women, may sometimes briefly shiver after or during urination. [18] After urination, the female urethra empties partially by gravity, with assistance from muscles.
The amount of urine passed during each urination is relatively small. [1] Pain while urinating suggests that there is a problem other than overactive bladder. [1] Specific treatment is not always required. [1] If treatment is desired pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, and other behavioral methods are initially recommended. [3]
