Why do I need to wee so much after having one small drink (#notpregnant)

Is that one small drink an espresso by any chance? ‘Tea, coffee and alcohol are diuretics – this means they make you pass urine in larger volumes and more often,’ explains Dr Daniel Fenton, clinical director at London Doctors Clinic. But your brain is important, too. ‘If you’re anxious, your brain takes over and your bladder can become more sensitive,’ he adds. But if none of the above, see a doctor. It could be a UTI, but this tends to involve pain when passing urine. It could also be an STI, a sign of diabetes (often accompanied by thirst), uterine fibroids (you might also have heavy periods) or, in very rare cases, ovarian cancer. A GP visit should put your mind at ease
