    Does it hurt? Could be a urinary tract infection? Always worth a trip to the GP if it doesn't go away or if there is anything wrong with the urine e.g. blood.

    Yeah, sounds like it could be a UTI. Are you male or female?

    It might be type one diabetes (that isn't the one where you get it from being fat or old). When I was first diagnosed I was peeing a lot, and feeling very very tired all the time.

    if it doesn't hurt than you may just have a weak bladder or maybe you drink loads, I need the toilet all the time- its really annoying, in preperation for long car journeys I don't drink anything for 2 days

    Is this something that's only started recently? If so, I've had something similar a number of times and it just went away by itself. The first time I had it, I went to a GP and she couldn't find anything wrong with me (but I'd still recommend going to see your GP - what you have might be different to what I had).

    Also, have you been eating/drinking a lot of sugary things? During the exam period I did just that (I eat when I'm stressed) and I found that that it made me need to pee a lot for some reason. I think it has something to do with excess glucose being ejected from the body via urine, but I'm not sure.
