Frequent Urination & Nocturia: Diagnosis & Treatment in Dubai
Needing to urinate frequently day or night can be disruptive and, in some cases, a sign of an underlying condition. Dr. Shawket Alkhayal, a Consultant Urologist & Andrologist with 30+ years of experience and UK training, helps men across Dubai and the UAE identify the cause and find lasting relief at Novomed Men’s Health Clinic.
What Causes Frequent Urination?
Frequent urination in men can point to diabetes, a urinary tract infection (UTI), BPH (enlarged prostate), or other prostate problems. Nocturia waking at night to urinate is a related symptom, and severe cases may involve waking 5-6 times nightly. A UTI is a typical cause of frequent urination, alongside prostate problems and diabetes. Bladder cancer, bladder dysfunction, and some medications can also be responsible. An enlarged prostate and drinking fluids before bedtime are common causes of nocturia specifically.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves a physical exam (abdominal, pelvic, and rectal), blood tests to check renal and thyroid function and plasma levels, and urinalysis to check for UTI, diabetes risk, and hyperthyroidism.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and may include antibiotics or other medications for symptom relief, delivered as part of an individualised treatment plan that targets the root issue rather than just the symptom.
