Definition
The frequent urination, identified by the medical term pollakiuria, consists in the increase of the daily episodes of expulsion of the urine.
Generally, the volume drained at each voiding action is rather small, whereas when frequent urination is accompanied by the elimination of large quantities of urine * the term polyuria is preferred. In the latter case, the condition may be linked to the simple consumption of abundant liquids, even when they are derived from plant foods (which we should mention are approximately 90% water).
