Waking up 2, 3, or 4 times every night to urinate—a condition called nocturia—is not a normal part of aging. Nor is the constant urge to go during the day, sensations of incomplete emptying, or pelvic discomfort. These are measurable medical symptoms with treatable causes.
What's Behind Frequent Urination?
These symptoms often overlap and can stem from multiple causes:
- Enlarged Prostate (BPH) — squeezes the urethra, forcing frequent voids
- Overactive Bladder (OAB) — bladder muscle contracts when it shouldn't
- Prostatitis — prostate inflammation causing urgency and discomfort
- UTI — burning and urgency, especially with fever
- Diabetes — high blood sugar increases urine output
Identify and treat the root cause
"One simple uroflow test and ultrasound can pinpoint the cause in most cases. There's no need to suffer in silence—effective treatment is available."
Diagnostic Steps at Our Clinic:
- Uroflowmetry — measures urine flow rate
- Post-void residual ultrasound — checks bladder emptying
- PSA blood test — screens for prostate issues
- Urinalysis — rules out infection or blood
