Hello,

Polyuria(urine>3L/day)/Nocturia (passing of more than one-third of total daily output by night) in your case is due to excessive drinking of green tea.Normally one should not drink more than 3-4 cups a day.

Aspirin taken in a low dose as secondary prevention in stroke won't give rise to polyuria or nocturia.Tea itself contains theophylline which has diuretic effect.

The normal urine output for a healthy adult is approx. 1.5 litres (400 ml-3 L) per day. A normal adult usually passes urine 4 to 6 times in 24 hrs with average intake of food and water.

It is better to avoid green tea and aspirin, because they both reduce the clotting effectiveness of platelets (dual antiplatelet effect).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas
