Frequent urination in men can occur for many reasons. Prostate problems are one possibility, but bladder conditions, infections, fluid intake, medicines, diabetes, and other issues can also contribute.
When prostate issues enter the picture
NIDDK lists frequent urination among symptoms that may occur with prostate problems and notes that BPH becomes more common with age.
Questions worth tracking
- How often are you urinating during the day?
- How many times are you waking at night?
- Is there urgency, pain, burning, blood, or difficulty starting?
- Do you feel the bladder empties completely?
- Did symptoms begin after a new medicine or supplement?
