Frequent urination due to urinary infection is related with urinating small amounts of urine usually accompanied with burning or pain.
If you have need for frequent urination of normal or increased amount of urine, associated with increased thirst, you should be tested for diabetes, or blood sugar.

I personally feel an infection of the urinary tract would show other symptoms. It could simply be a case of you drinking too much water. While drinking enough water is necessary drinking too much would rather turn out to be an irritation.

Frequent urination is also a symptom diabetics and prediabetics experience. Is there any chance that either of these is a possibility?

I didn't know frequent urination is a symptom of diabetes but I hope she doesn't have it because she is only 17.

I would not see a doc specifically for diabetes but I think you should see a doctor to figure out why you are urinating so much. Good luck.

Frequent urination could mean a lot of things. Are you taking any medications that are diuretic? Do you feel that your actually urinating more or just more often?

Short periods of this is very common. Most people will become diuretic when they're fighting off infection or virus but if yours has been going on for a month you should see a doctor.

I guess you need to go to a urologist. Taking too much caffeine, if I am not wrong, can increase the frequency of urination.
