Frequent Urination in Elderly

Common Causes

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men — An enlarged prostate might block urine flow, causing the bladder to fill quickly.
• Overactive bladder — Age-related changes could make the bladder more sensitive.
• Urinary tract infection (UTI) — Infections may be harder to spot but can still cause frequent urination.
• Neurological conditions — Issues like stroke or Parkinson's might disrupt nerve signals to the bladder.
• Diabetes — Poorly managed blood sugar could worsen with age, increasing urine output.
