From the word itself, frequent urination is the need to urinate more than usual. The proper medical term for this condition is "polyuria." What is usual though for a normal human being? It really depends on each individual because not everybody urinates the same number of times all throughout the day. There are different factors to consider in terms of how many times a day each person has to go pee. Typically, at average a person urinates around 4 to 8 times during the day. Needing to urinate more than 8x could be considered as having this condition.

This urinary system disorder is described as an urgent and sudden urge to urinate which could give a discomforted feeling to the bladder. If a person needs to frequently urinate during the night time this is termed as "nocturia." Normally, most people can sleep for the whole 8 hours without having to go to the bathroom to urinate. But the others who have to go to the bathroom more than 2 x during the night this person could have a problem.
