Diuresis

/daɪˈjuːrɪsɪs/ noun

Definition

The increased production and discharge of urine from the body, often caused by drinking lots of fluids or certain medical conditions.

Etymology

From Greek 'dia' (through) and 'ouresis' (urination), literally meaning 'passing through urine.' The term was formed in medical contexts during the 17th century to describe the physiological process of excessive urination.

Kelly Says

Your body produces diuresis naturally every time you drink a lot of water—it's trying to maintain the right balance of salt and water. Interestingly, coffee and tea trigger diuresis because they contain caffeine, which is why caffeinated drinks can make you need the bathroom more often!
