Dr. Spitz says that in many instances frequent urination may be due to an enlarged prostate, but due to his age, he does not believe this would be the issue. He says one possible reason could be sleep apnea, which can result in the release of hormones which signal your kidneys to dump urine.

The Doctors recommend if you are experiencing frequent urination to really examine how much caffeine and water you are consuming before bedtime.

Dr. Spitz notes that it is possible to drink too much water, which can affect how your kidneys process fluids. He says not to drink more than a gallon and suggests aiming for 3 quarts in a day.
