I have not found the answer to this concern i have.?

i have a concern about my boyfriend..he drinks a lot of water a day..probably more than 8 glases of water..but he doesn;t urinate that much only 2 times a day..is this a serious problem?
Answer:
Reduced urine output could mean, among other things, reduced kidney function. Does he go a lot each time? With the heat and humidity like it has been (depending on where you live), it probably isn't anything I would worry a lot about. He could have some simple blood work done to rule out a lot of things.
Yeah he should contact the Emergency Room and they can tell you what to do or call a doctor! If not it could leave to problems in the future for him.
Well it is hotter outside now so perhaps he needs that and/or is sweating it out.Also, if he is used to it he may not have to pee every 2 minutes.Have him talk to his Dr. about it at a yearly check-up.
Could be that he sweats or loses water by vapor (breathing),etc. Its a little weird, but maybe he just has a large bladder and doesn't feel the need to go any more frequently than he does. Ask him if you're concerned.
Is he swollen any where..like hands and feet..If not he hold his water longer than he should..keeping urine in our bladders isn't good either...raises the chance of infection. Tell him to go more often.
That is very normal for a guy. Their bladder is much bigger than a woman's. My husband is the same way. Relax.
it can be. how old is he? has he had an MI? he should weigh himself at least once a week and if he gains five or more pounds he should see a doctor. if he gains two or more lbs in a day he should see a doctor.
If his urine is clear he's urinating it out.With the humidity he may just be cooling off.You might want to contact the Emergency room about that.
It seems like he may be diabetic. That is one of the main symptoms on diabetes.See if you can get him to go to a doctor and have himself checked out.
What type of work is he doing? If he is doing heavy work, work outside, excercise, etc. then he may be losing most of the water intake by sweating. If he appears healthy and feels well, I sure wouldn't worry about it.
Your boyfriend, he should be putting out about 5-pints (2.5 liters) of urine per day. if he's drinking alot of water, but is not putting it out...then its being retained somewhere. Where, that's a question that his doctor should be able to tell, by running some simple tests. Pay attention to other symptoms too. Such as: what color it is, if he has any pain before, during or after urinating, or he sweats alot or vomits or have diarrhea. A healthy adult may produce between about 1 and 4 pints of urine per day.
