Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. The reasons for increased frequency of urine are quite a few like - uncontrolled diabetes when a lot of glucose is filtered in urine causing repeated urge to pass urine, plus increased thirst. Secondly with increased age there is benign prostatic enlargement (bph) which blocks urethra (this is only in males), leading to less passage per visit and hence there is increased urge and repeated visits. Third if there is any urinary tract infection there may be increased urination and urge to pass. In his case possibly the problem of bph might be a bit more severe. So better to visit a surgeon and get the opinion. He may need an ultra sonography to assess the enlargement and blockage. Or there may be uncontrolled diabetes.in a well controlled diabetes patient fbg should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 7%. So please look at all these aspects. If you have any further questions please do come back. Thanks.
