Dr. Everlyn, who is an Australian GP, said that people with a normal bladder function will feel the need to head to the restroom and empty their bladder between 4 to 10 times a day but on average nature might call six to seven times a day every 24 hours.

However, this number can vary from one person to another depending on many factors, including your age, whether you are pregnant or taking any medications in addition to the types of fluids you are consuming during the day. So, all of these can actually affect your toilet habits!

Dr.Everlyn also said that having a weak bladder can also be one of the biggest factors that can affect your toilet habit. Say, if you immediately go the toilet to empty your bladder once you feel the need of doing so, you will automatically pass more urine a day than someone who is training their bladder to hold the fluid for some time before emptying!

Hence, it would be wise not to immediately respond to the call of nature and hold your urine a bit before you finally head to the restroom. This way, you make your bladder stronger and train it to hold the fluid.

In fact, Dr. Lewin strongly recommends that you try to hold it for 5 minutes and step by step you can train your bladder to hold the urine for longer periods. For better results and better training, you’d better seek a women’s physiotherapist that will help you build a stronger bladder.

The doctor also adds saying that taking too many trips to the toilet along with a constant feeling of thirst can be a sign of many hidden health issues including diabetes.
