Been pissing like a race horse lately. Finally been keeping track of my water and drinking a gallon a day and sometimes more. Seems like when I chug water I immediately have to go.
Don't keep track but it's very often and feel like I didn't before so now I'm worried about prostate issues and cancer.
Wondering what a normal amount is with q gallon intake?
I go a lot cause of my water intake plus I hate the sensation of having to go. I go about once an hour but I can hold it for 2-2.5 hours if I have to as long as I limit my fluid intake
Yea about same. However sometimes when I'm chugging water to try to hit my goal I'll go and then 5 min later go againQuote:

I pee every 1.5-2.5hours. I pee once during the night, sometimes twice. Before I got on a cycle or trt I never peed during the night. Peeing a lot can also indicate kidney problems or diabetes/pre-diabetes in case you’re concerned.
I piss a ton…PSA is in check. I would agree with TMO that my nightly urinations have increased since starting TRT (definitely cognizant of my fluid intake before bed). I also drink a decent amount of coffee in the morning and once in mid afternoon…
I’m just convinced my big heart only allows for a tiny bladder ;)
Sometimes psychology plays a role, where certain cues creates the need. Or it could be called “JICing” (Just In Case, yes, it’s used in medicine). The more you do it, the more frequent it becomes. That said, age plays a role. Never noticed a change with TRT or with blasts. Trying to get used to sleeping through the evening urge, but when you actually dream about finding a toilet, it gets tough.Quote:

If you're 27, you probably shouldn't be really worrying about prostate issues and cancer. But yeah, maybe go get your PSA levels checked at the doctor's if you're nervous. Tell him you're pissing more than usual and you just want to be cautious. They love running bloodwork.Quote:

Antibiotics also bring it down crazy fast for me, like I start feeling relief in 24 to 36 hours.Quote:

I never really gave it much thought. Although, the US military's philosophy is that: "If you don't have to pee; you're wrong." This has been incorporated as a way to emphasis the necessity to remain hydrated.
I guess the only time I am checking my urine is when my girlfriend is holding me while I piss, so she can judge whether or not my urine is clear enough for the classic, fun for the whole family Golden Shower Drenching Extravaganza (highly recommended; she's gonna love it; trust me; trust DADDY...).
