Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Frequent urination, especially during night could be due to following reasons:
1. Diabetes mellitus.
2. Enlarged prostate gland.
3. Urinary tract or urinary bladder infection.
Kindly get the following investigations done.
1. Fasting glucose level, Post-prandial glucose level and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to know the glucose homeostasis.
2. Urine routine examination and Urine Culture - Sensitivity test.
3. Trans-rectal ultrasound scan for enlarged prostate.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate course of management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
