"Understanding the Increase in Urinary Frequency with Age"

As people age, they may experience increased urinary frequency due to various factors such as a decline in estrogen, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary tract infections, a smaller bladder, constipation, certain medications, caffeine and alcohol consumption, prostate enlargement in men, and Type 2 diabetes. These conditions can weaken bladder support, reduce bladder capacity, and increase urine production. It's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options to manage these symptoms effectively.
