Brief Answer:
UTI should be ruled out. Need some investigation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for your query. Followings are my comments:
1) Frequent urination at night could be due to urinary tract infection, diabetes, intake of caffeine or alcohol, non-maintenance of genital hygiene after sex, local injury, dehydration, bladder sphincter instability etc.
2) In this case, you have to undergo some basic investigations like routine urine examination with culture test, blood sugar, cystourethroscopy or urodynamic study to pinpoint the diagnosis. You may consult with your physician or urologist for proper guidance and management of the case.
3) Antibiotic treatment should be given according to test report. Kegel exercise should be done to strengthen pelvic floor muscle and bladder sphincter, avoid hot drink or caffeine at bed time, drink less water at night or after dinner, maintain genital hygiene properly. Wear cotton underwear and avoid chemical products.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
