The following conditions can cause frequent urination: urinary tract infection; pregnancy; diabetes; problems in the prostate gland; stroke; bladder cancer; vaginitis; interstitial cystitis (Pelvic and bladder pain); excess intake of alcohol and caffeine; diuretics (medicines to increase urine); stroke; pelvic tumour; radiation therapy to the pelvic area; and overactive bladder syndrome.

Some lifestyle changes can help to manage or avoid frequent urination: avoid drinking water just before going to bed; have less intake of drinks that contain high caffeine content; reduce your alcohol intake; and perform kegel exercises to strengthen the bladder muscles.

Exercises can be useful in managing frequent urination. After vaginal delivery in women, the muscles can lose their strength. Kegel exercises are pelvic floor exercises which give strength to the bladder muscles and improve their function. A physiotherapist can show you exactly how to perform the Kegel exercises.

Depending on the underlying cause further treatment is carried out. If you have a urinary tract infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. If the cause is diabetes or prostate problems, doctor will recommend you to see a specialist. If you have an overactive bladder syndrome, the doctor will prescribe medicines to calm down the bladder. The doctor will also suggest lifestyle modifications.

Surgery may not be always necessary to treat frequent urination. Some medicines can control frequent urination. You may also do simple lifestyle modification and exercises. You may need surgery only in some specific cases. If during the examination, the doctor notices pelvic organ prolapse, you may need a reconstructive surgery.
