I’m Not Peeing Very Often
Now, what if the problem is that you’re just not peeing very often, maybe only 2-3x daily?
You might just be dehydrated and need to consume more liquids, preferably water.
Keep in mind that all of this peeing affects your kidneys. Having healthy urine frequency and color is a sign of a strong and healthy kidney function.
See your doctor if you have any of the negative symptoms and do a blood test for your kidney function.
