I am 82 year old male I have clean habits I am 82 year old male I have clean habits No B P no Sugar. But my problem is frequent urination. A large amount of urine pass out. I do not have urine Infection, no irritation, no urine blockage. When Sun shines I feel no urge for urination for 3-4 hours in the morning. BY evenings after 5 P M I feel urgent to urinate once in 2 hours without any alarm till next morning. When it is cloudy, raining, even for one and half hour I feel urgent to urinate. Some time back I am told by one Dr friend, saying that see Mr., after age of 60 almost all will have prostate problem of frequent urination. When you don’t have urine infection, irritation, blockage of urine, frequent urination is not a problem. Is this advice is correct ? Dr, do i have any way out to avoid this frequent urination ? I am eagerly awaiting for your valuble advice

Ans: As one ages as part of ageing process there are certain changes in Male and female
One of that is Prostrate enlargement
Frequency of urination only on a specific time of the day cannot be due to Prostate enlargement.
A solution to this would be to have the required water for your body mostly before lunch time
Then just have sips and few gulps now and thenRestrict totally after 6pm
See if it works
Also undergo USG Pelvis to see if there is enlarged
