Doctor warns: How often should you use the toilet, depending on your age?

How often should a person go to the toilet during the day? Some people go several times in a row, while others can get through an entire workday without going. The answer depends on several factors.

Urologist Hamid Abboudi says coffee, tea, alcohol and carbonated drinks can make the urge to urinate more frequent. These drinks may irritate the bladder and create the feeling that it needs to be emptied again.

More frequent urination can also be caused by health problems, including urinary tract infections, diabetes and prostate issues.
