Yes. HTH.

He should get it checked out. It’s most likely to be an enlarged prostrate but could be other things that would need treatment

He's getting to the age when the prostate starts playing up, increasing urine passing but mainly at night. It's also a sign of type 2 diabetes. Don't think that only overweight people with bad diets get it it can affect anyone with the correct gene.

He needs a check up, it could be nothing, could be T2 diabetes, could be his prostate, could be kidney problems, but he needs to get it checked.

Check it out. Its probably just prostate, but my DH had these symptoms and it was bladder cancer - he survived but it was nasty.

I'd get it checked. Symptom of type 2 diabetes.

GoryBory · 10/09/2023 16:44

I think at any age if you start passing urine more you should get it checked out just in case.

MidnightOnceMore · 10/09/2023 16:48

Normal in many cases, serious in some, should be checked as a warning sign for cancer, diabetes etc.

Thatladdo · 10/09/2023 17:25

Yes, hes done well to last this long TBH

Yes, but it should still be checked out.

It’s common for older men to wee more often because of harmless prostate changes, but it should always be checked out in case it’s something else, like a more serious prostate condition, or diabetes, or a bladder/urinary tract problem. He should see a GP.
