Why do I have to pee so much?
Ok, I'm 16 and lately I have been having to go pee every 15-20 min it seems. Idk why this is happening. Need some advice. I don't think it's diabetes because I don't have any other symptoms although diabetes does run in my family. Also, it does not burn or hurt when I pee just irritating constantly having to get up and go. Also when I do go it is jus a little bit and then I'm done. I drink lots of liquids (mostly water, occasionally milk or sweet tea) and have a pretty good diet overall. Please help with any info you may have to help me with this problem. Thank you advance and please only serious answers.

Your family history of diabetes makes me think that you shouldn't rule out diabetes just yet. Some people have it and are unaware. (asymptomatic). It could be a urinary tract infection (bladder infection). Also during a woman's cycle the pressure from blood and swelling can cause frequent urination as well. I would ask my gynecologist and primary physician direct questions about what it could possibly be and have them run a pre-diabetic screening. -I hope this helps

What your water intake? If you are drinking a lot of water do not stop unless it is bottled water. Bottled water has all the vitamins and minerals stripped away, which will flush your body of not only minerals but essential salts as well. You cannot drink too much water.
Are your drinking coffee in excess? Are you fat? Do you provide yourself with a poor diet.

maybe you're drinking too much water. but it's normal for a girl to pee often.
perhaps you have a weak bladder

I had the same problem but I later then went o a checkup and I asked what wa wrong but with the tests they took nothing was wrong.
I think it was because u drink alot of liquids too like water and all that so don't worry
