How old are you?
When you do urinate, what color is the urine? Is it dark yellow to almost orange/brown?
Dehydration is one cause of low urine output. Not drinking enough water during hot weather or exercise may cause dehydration. You can usually reverse mild to moderate dehydration by drinking more fluids. But, if this was the cause, you would be having other symptoms like a dry, sticky mouth, feeling sleepy or tired, thirst, headache, and constipation.
I am concerned that there might be a more serious problem, since this has been going on for more than one week.
A urinary tract obstruction may be the problem. The blockage occurs when urine cannot leave your kidneys. This can affect one or both kidneys and usually results in a decreased urine output.
You need to seek medical attention right away. Are you old enough to go to the emergency room or contact your physician without your parent's consent or insurance coverage?
You cannot ignore this. Please tell your parents. As a mother of three young adult children, I would want to know and would help if one of them was having such a problem.
