What causes frequent urination in men? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Frequent urination in men can result from various causes, which can be the result of physiological to pathological conditions. Here are some common causes that can cause frequent urination in men:

• Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH): BPH is a common cause of frequent urination in men, especially in older people. When the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra and obstruct the flow of urine, causing problems with urination, including frequent urination, difficulty starting and ending urination, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

• Urinary tract infection: A bladder or general urinary tract infection can cause frequent urination, a burning sensation during urination, lower abdominal pain, and cloudy urine.

• Diabetes: Diabetes can cause frequent urination due to increased blood sugar levels, which can further lead to excessive urine output (polydipsia and polyuria). In addition, diabetes can lead to damage to the nerves that control the bladder, which can also cause problems with urination.

• Drinking too much fluid: Excessive fluid intake, especially before bed, can cause frequent urination.

• Psychogenic polyuria: Psychogenic polyuria is a condition in which frequent urination is not the result of a physiological condition but is of psychological origin. It can occur as a result of stress, anxiety, or another mental disorder.

• Neurological disorders: Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, or spinal cord injuries can affect bladder function and cause frequent urination.

• Oversensitive bladder syndrome: this syndrome is a prevalent cause of frequent urination.

• Use of specific medications: Certain medications, such as diuretics, antidepressants, or medications to treat high blood pressure, can cause frequent urination as a side effect.

• Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine: alcohol and caffeine can cause increased urine output.

• Prostate cancer: In rare cases, frequent urination can indicate prostate cancer. Other symptoms of prostate cancer may include difficulty urinating, blood in the urine or in the semen (semen), pain in the pelvis or lower back, and erectile dysfunction.
