Many people think that by reducing their intake of fluid, less urine will be passed and their condition will improve. According to COB Foundation, drinking less water does result in a reduction of urine, but the urine that is produced is highly concentrated. This can actually cause further problems and irritation of the bladder lining. Generally, the guidelines for adults are 2 to 2.5 liters of liquid per day. Remember not to drink all of it at once or too close to bedtime, however. The COB Foundation recommends drinking the majority of fluids before 6 pm to prevent nocturia (waking up during the night to urinate).
