Water is a very important part of our body, but every day when we sweat and urinate, we lose water from our body, even when we sleep, water inside the body is quietly lost. Therefore, only by drinking water frequently every day can the water in the body be replenished. This helps to make the body healthier. Moreover, replenishing water regularly promotes urination in the body, and proper urination can allow waste in the body to be excreted through urine. However, the frequency and quantity of urination vary for each person, and daily urination can also indicate the general condition of our body.
Especially, urination is closely related to the kidneys. If there are problems with the kidneys in the body, then there will be problems during urination.
Maintaining a good habit of drinking water in daily life will naturally increase urine production. For an average healthy individual, daily urination can reach one liter. The approximate amount of water we drink daily is around two liters. Among the two liters of water we drink, some are absorbed by the body, some are excreted through sweat, and the remainder is filtered through the kidneys and excreted from the body. If there is a malfunction in the kidneys, the remaining water in the body cannot be properly filtered, decreasing the frequency of urination, perhaps only once or twice a day.
Therefore, in daily life, when we notice a decrease in urine output, it is likely that urine is accumulating in our body. At this point, the kidneys are unable to filter properly, leading to increased stress on the kidneys, which can easily cause kidney disease and uremia. Especially for male friends, if the number of urinations is fewer than eight times a day, the likelihood of kidney damage will increase; if you urinate more than eight times a day, it indicates that your kidneys are quite healthy.
When there is a kidney disorder leading to uremia, aside from reduced urine output, there are two specific characteristics:
1. Yellowish complexion. When the kidneys are functioning properly, they can excrete urine from the body. If urine accumulates in the body without being properly excreted, it may turn into uric acid accumulation in the body, which can threaten kidney health. Excessive uric acid buildup in the body can lead to a yellowish complexion. Therefore, when such symptoms occur in the body, it may indicate kidney damage.
2. Facial swelling. The kidneys are crucial organs for water processing and excreting the body’s water. If there are kidney issues, the body’s metabolism may be affected, disrupting the water circulation process in the body. Failure to promptly excrete excess water from the body can result in facial swelling.
Therefore, if you experience any discomfort in your body, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly. Moreover, men should pay attention to urination in their daily lives to ensure better health and stay away from the disturbance of uremia.
