Thank You Mellie, No I don't have this issue, I am going to school and my text  book didn't associate oliguria with scanty urination. But again I thank you for your response, couldn't visualize the word.

Scanty Urination or Oliguria is an abnormally small production of urine in a 24 hour period or longer and is usually an underlying symptom of renal failure. I am not a medical professional but if you are experiencing this issue the best thing would be to see a local Urologist or you may need a consult from you PCP to be referred to a Urologist if you are not already seeing one. Best of luck to you.
