There are 6 major standards for men's urination

1. How many times a day is normal to urinate

A, 6 times; B, 7 times; C, 8 times; D, 9 times

Correct answer: C

Expert analysis: The standard for healthy urination is: 8 times a day, about 300 ml each time, and the total volume does not exceed 3000 ml. If it is more than 8 times without drinking water, it is called frequent urination. Many people think that if they always want to urinate, it must be kidney deficiency. In fact, most frequent urination has nothing to do with the kidney.

If you urinate frequently but the amount of urine is small, it may be a problem with the bladder and urethra; if you urinate frequently and the amount of urine is not small, it may be a metabolic disease, such as diabetes or polyuria. Only if you urinate frequently and a routine urine test shows high urine protein, it may be a problem with the kidneys.

Some people urinate frequently because they always feel the urge to urinate. You can check yourself: if you feel the urge to urinate very urgently, it may be an overactive bladder; if the urge to urinate is subtle and not urgent, it may be sensory nerve hypersensitivity or chronic bladder inflammation caused by urinary tract infection.

2. How many times should you get up at night?

A, 0 times; B, 1 time; C, 2 times; D, 3 times

Correct answer: B

Expert analysis: The best ratio is to urinate 8 times a day, 7 times during the day and 1 time at night.

One reason for getting up too often at night is drinking too much water before going to bed. This is normal. There is no need to deliberately reduce the amount of water you drink at night to avoid getting up at night, unless you are a patient with congestive heart failure or hypertension, who needs to control the amount of water you drink throughout the day. Don't worry about drinking too much water at night and getting swollen eyes and face in the morning. This only happens to people with kidney problems. Healthy kidneys will metabolize normally and will not cause swelling.

In order to reduce the number of times they get up at night, many elderly people dare not drink any water at night. Over time, this will make their urine very concentrated, leading to diseases such as bladder stones.

Another situation is that you don’t drink much water at night but always get up at night. This is the same as frequent urination during the day. A large amount of urine each time indicates an internal metabolic disease; a small amount of urine each time indicates a problem with the bladder and urethra.

3. How long does it usually take to go to the toilet after drinking water?

A. 10-30 minutes; B. 30-45 minutes; C. 45 minutes to 2 hours; D. More than 2 hours

Correct answer: B

Expert analysis: Generally speaking, it takes 30-45 minutes for water to be metabolized normally in the body, which is equivalent to the time of a school class. However, even if you choose other options in this question, it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with your body, especially your kidneys. The length of time that water stays in the body is mainly affected by two factors. One is whether the food you eat is salty or light. When you eat too much salt, it will take longer to urinate because salt will cause water to be retained in the body.

Second, do you eat too much or too little? If you drink beer without eating anything before the party, you will feel like going to the toilet soon; but if you drink alcohol after eating, especially after a staple food, you will not feel the urge to urinate easily. The reason is simple: food absorbs water like a sponge, which prolongs the time it takes to be discharged.

In addition, whether the body is dehydrated and the weather will also affect the time of urination. After exercising, you sweat a lot and your body is highly dehydrated. All the water you drink is absorbed and not easy to excrete. If the weather is too cold, it is difficult for the water to evaporate through sweat and it can only turn into urine, which makes people want to go to the toilet frequently.

4. What is the color of normal urine?

A. Light brown; B. Colorless; C. Shiny yellow; D. Bright red; E. Soy sauce color; F. White.

Correct answer: A

Expert analysis: Healthy urine should be light yellow and transparent, just like the first cup of tea you brew. When you drink a lot of water, your urine may be colorless like boiled water; when you drink less water, it may be a beer yellow. All of these situations are normal.

Abnormal urine includes the following types: bright yellow, indicating jaundice in the urine, or vitamin B2 supplementation, that is, too much riboflavin; bright red like meat washing water, indicating red blood cells in the urine, which may be kidney surgery or nephritis, or rifampicin affected by anti-tuberculosis drugs; soy sauce color, broken red blood cells in the urine, may also be nephritis; white, which is rare, indicates chyle in the urine, which comes from filariasis or kidney or lymphatic vessel blockage.

5. How much urine is produced in a day?

A, 100 ml; B, 400 ml; C, 1000 ml; D, 1500 ml; E, 3000 ml

Correct answer: D

Expert analysis: The amount of urine we excrete every day is about 1500 ml. This is normal urine volume. In fact, as long as the daily urine volume is more than 400 ml and less than 3000 ml, there is no big problem.

Less than 400 ml is called oliguria, which is almost impossible for normal people. Once it occurs, it is mostly acute renal failure; more than 3000 ml is called polyuria, which is mostly endocrine diseases such as diabetes or diabetes insipidus, or it may be mental thirst. In addition, patients with chronic renal failure may also experience polyuria, especially increased urine volume at night.

It is a misunderstanding to think that drinking more water and urinating more can detoxify the body. As long as the amount of urine is within the normal range, it is enough to excrete toxins from the body. There is no need to deliberately drink more water.

6. What does healthy urine look like?

A, turbid; B, clear; C, strong smell; D, light smell; E, more foam; F, less foam

Correct answer: B, F

Expert analysis: Light yellow, clear and bright urine is undoubtedly an important standard for healthy urination. But don't worry too much if your urine is turbid. Especially when the weather is cool, urine tends to become turbid after being left for a while. Even after being left for a long time, white sediment will appear at the bottom of the urinal. This is often salt crystals precipitated from the urine, which has nothing to do with kidney disease.

If there is a lot of foam in the urine, you should go to the hospital for a urine test immediately. If proteinuria is found, it may be caused by kidney disease; but if there is no protein in the urine test, this kind of foam is not abnormal.

In clinical practice, the smell of urine is rarely used to determine whether one is healthy or not, so don't worry too much about a light-smelling urine, unless your urine has a strange rotten apple smell, which may be a sign of diabetes.
