Frequent urination is a condition where a person urinates more than once every couple of hours during the day, or get up several times during the night. The common causes of increased urination include urinary tract infection, bladder dysfunction, excessive fluid intake, enlarged prostate, prostatitis, bladder cancer, pregnancy, diabetes, radiation therapy, interstitial cystitis and certain medications.
Aging is another important cause of this condition. As you get older, the muscle of the bladder loses elasticity and tone. As a result, your bladder's capacity can be reduced, causing increased urination. Muscular disability, pelvic muscle weakness, chronic diseases, tumors, infection, cognitive impairment, and environment may also cause urinary incontinence in advancing age.
