My mother had a urinary tract infection , she had an operation to remove the mass that caused an occlusion in the urinary tract (it was caused by the inflammation of course). Since the operation (about 4 months ago) , she drinks lots of water every day(as recommended by doctor) that she has to urinate six times during night is this harmful?

Take adequate amount of water. In summer  about 3-5lt is sufficient depending on weather condition and physical activity.in winter 2-3lts may be enough on same parameters.can take little less in evening if frequency bothers the sleep. Normal frequency in night is usually 0-1. Amount of a voided urine is also important. A voiding diary in such situation is helpful. Consult your urologist for the same
