    It was done. I was four days in hospital. Now at home. I think soon well. Peeing is a little painful.

      Good idea but when I told my urlogist that I was drinking 3 litres a day he said that was too much.

    They asked to drink 1 liter more than normally. But I do not even know what is normally.

      A lot must depend on local climate and the amount of exercise you are doing.

      Local hospital site suggests:

      The European Food Safety Authority recommends that women should drink about 1.6 litres of fluid and men should drink about 2.0 litres of fluid per day. That's about eight glasses of 200ml each for a woman, and 10 glasses of 200ml each for a man. 

      However, the amount a person needs to drink to avoid getting dehydrated will vary depending on a range of factors, including their size, the temperature and how active they are. So, for example, if you're exercising hard in hot weather you'll need to drink more.

      All drinks count, including hot drinks such as tea and coffee, but water, milk and fruit juices are the healthiest. It is best to avoid alcoholic drinks.
