Hi,
As per your complain you have problem of frequent urination problem there are many cause behind it. I Mention following causes:
- Urinary tract infection or kidney infection cause frequent urination problem.
- More alcohol drinking and caffeine lead to frequent urination.
- Anxiety may cause this problem.
- Diabetic insipidus may ruled out. Bladder stone also lead to this type of symptoms.
- Over active bladder or injury to bladder lead to frequent urination.
Consult a nephrologist for further diagnosis. Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems. Urine test and microscopic examination to detect any infection present or not. Clinical corelation with symptoms helpful for diagnosis.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care. Thank you.
