There are many reasons for voiding frequently and getting up at nite but diabetes , an enlarged prostate or overactive bladder are frequently the most common causes at this age. Further evaluations and tests are needed to determine what treatment is necessary.
For non-medical persons, excessive urination could mean making a big volume of urine or simply mean peeing very often. To solve the specific concerns for an individual man, a comprehensive evaluation is absolutely needed. To build up your adequate knowledge of urination, please take the time to review the pages in http://www.formefirst.com/onBPH-LUTS-VoidingTrouble.html. Then, I am sure you will be able to work very well with the doctor in your favor. Wish you the best for medical care and healthy lifestyle.
A complete history is important. Have you had a urological evaluation before? Medication? Any surgery? If not, your symptoms may be secondary to an enlarged prostate. You need to see a urologist.
Uncontrolled diabetes. Prostate enlargement also probable
Most common cause is an enlarged prostate, which can be treated with medication or office treatments of surgery. However, it could be due to a variety of other causes. A good history and physical examination, as well as urine testing is needed.
This may be due to an enlarged prostate or the fact that your diabetes is not under control. You need to have a uroflow and a post void residual checked to evaluate why. Some medications should be able to help correct this.
