Hello,
What you seem to be having is called polyuria. It can be due to excessive consumption of fluids, intake of diuretic fluids like caffeine, chocolate, coffee, tea, soft drinks, hot spicy foods; juices high in acid and alcoholic beverages. It can also occur in diabetes and high doses of vit C and B2.Pls check out if there is any intake of the above said medicines or foods.

If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated from a physician and get ruled out the various medical conditions causing polyuria. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

There are many things that can cause frequent urination.  Do you have pain with your frequency?

I have Interstitial cystitis an inflammatory bladder disease.  This can cause frequency
but also has pain.  However for us, foods can effect our symptoms.  I suggest you watch acidic foods, avoid coffee, alcohol, soda, caffeine,  chocolate, cranberries etc.  I can give you some food lists for those of us with bladder issues if you pm me, but those are the big ones.

Hope that helps!
