UTI and BPH in males are common causes of frequent urination
Frequent urination can be due to excessive production of urine, as occurs with uncontrolled diabetes or a condition called diabetes insipidus. It can also be caused by malfunction or irritation of the bladder due to urinary infections, bladder stones, bladder nerve damage or uterine prolapse. A nephrologist or urologist is best suited to further evaluate this individual.
