What happens if you only pee once a day at most and is that bad for you?
First answer: You can get a kidney infection and catch many uti's.
And now: If you're not peeing because you don't need to go, you might be very dehydrated. If it's because you aren't making much urine even though you're drinking plenty of fluids, it may very well be kidney failure. If it's because you need to go and are holding it, you will not only get UTIs, you will permanently damage the detrusor muscle of your bladder to the point you can only urinate by self-catheterization. You should urinate between 5 and 8 times every day. Well, I know, as I have done it; I have been 38 hours on several occasions. Each time I ended up with a raging kidney infection; once I had convulsive seizures. I admit I only get up to about 3 or 4 times a day at best. I must work on that. See your doctor!
