Urologist Questions Incontinence

Why do I get up multiple times at night to use the bathroom?

I'm 45 and male. I consistently have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. This happens several times, like 3-4. What can be the cause? Should I see a doctor?

Likely prostate. Yes, see your doctor.
There could be many reasons for that. The most common is an enlarged prostate, but could be diabetes, or bladder infection or swelling. You really should see be seen in the office.

I would recomend to see a doctor at this time. There are several causes for frequent urination at night. You can also make sure to avoid drinking caffeine after 5 pm and avoid drinking too much fluids just before going to bed. You may need urine test and other testing based on your overall symptoms.
