[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1662575, member: 211362"] That's good you're keeping track. A urologist would want the particulars... I was told by urologists that normal is 4-7 voids per day. So for me my average of 17 is excessive. Try and do a 72 hour straight diary no matter how you feel (don't skip any days) as that is what they ask you to do in my experience. I guess you could do a longer period for them if you like.... but it is up to them to look at what you've recorded and decide whether or not you do have a problem. From there they do further tests usually to work out what the problem may be if there is one. If you have retention issues, they will need to work out what the cause is. My current urologist said leaving just 100ml in your bladder after each void is unacceptable as your bladder should fully empty. So it means you wind up with stale urine and the possibility of bacteria breeding and infection could result. They have proof I retain (it may be they do these type of tests on you). [/QUOTE]
