Frequent Urination
The number of times an individual visits the bathroom varies. A healthy person is likely to urinate between four and 10 times a day, with six and seven times during a 24-hour period being the average.
Repeatedly visiting the bathroom to urinate could indicate an underlying health condition, such as diabetes, and it's also a symptom associated with ascites. Taking water pills furosemide together with spironolactone in the morning may help reduce frequent urination during the night.5‘Why Do We Use the Combination of Furosemide and Spironolactone in the Treatment of Cirrhotic Ascites?’ Liver Fellow Networks RSS, liverfellow.org/post/diuretics-ascites
