Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HCM,

This may be due to Urinary tract infection or could be due to inadequate intake of water. If you do not have contradictions to take plenty of water (like any kind of kidney or other medical problems), firstly I suggest you to have plenty of water(3-4 Ltr per day).

Secondly please get a Unrinalysis test done, to rule out Urinary tract infection.

Thanks
