Hello
You are 63 years ,healthy and want to empty bladder .
If you are male then such frequent urination may be due to enlarged prostate , so get in ultrasound of prostate and if it enlarged , you have to take treatment for this.
Avoid fluid after 6 pm ( if possible ) and empty bladder at the time of sleep ( before sleep ) .
Also get in blood examination for sugar level and deal accordingly.
Urinary tract infection ( low grade ) is another cause of urge of urination.
However , there are other so many reasons like tension ,anxiety but at the age of 63 years consult a surgeon or physician and get his opinion because physical as well clinical examination is important.
Good luck.
