Though i don't drink liquids a lot (1.5 L max a day), i have no diabetes, i urinate a lot, max each 1.5 hours or 2 hours and every time with full bladder, help!!
You could be having either polyuria, defined as passing >3 L/day of urine in adults, or urinary frequency, in which you have an urgent need to void frequently but the total urine output is not increased.
The causes could be:
1- Diabetes mellitus (insulin problem)
2- Diabetes insipidus: consists of 2 types: a/central: here there's a deficiency in a hormone called ADH, giving messages that you're constantly thirsty even when your body is hydrated; b/nephrogenic: the kidney is not responsive, partially or totally, to ADH, and in adults it's secondary, usually to meds like Lithium
3- Pregnancy: early on, urination frequency increases
4- Alcohol
5- Cystitis (bladder infection) or urinary tract infection: especially if you have on top lower abdominal or flank pain and burning with urination
If all the above is ruled out after evaluation by a physician (history, examination, and tests), you may have what is called "Overactive bladder", which is a symptom syndrome (not a specific pathological condition) consisting of urgency (involuntary bladder contractions lead to frequent and often urgent urination, meaning you have to get to a bathroom right away even if your bladder is not full), frequency, and nocturia (frequent urination during the night).

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
