Suggest Treatment For Severe Leg Cramps And Frequent Urination

He needs to be evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma am,
Good Morning!
I appreciate your concern for your beloved husband.
For how long he has been having these symptoms?
Does he take any medication or any other medical problem he has?
After having gone through the problems discussed in your query, I am of the opinion that he might be having a hormonal disorder known as diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes insipidus occurs when the kidneys cannot concentrate the urine normally, and a large amount of dilute urine is excreted because of lack of Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH) secretion or failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH.
This results in increase frequency of urination (polyuria) and increase thirst and drinking (polydipsia). Not drinking enough fluids can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance causing muscle cramps.
Therefore, he needs to be evaluated by an endocrinologist for proper workout, relevant lab tests to confirm the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Hope the explanation given above could be of great help in getting him treated for his present problems.
I shall be happy to answer your query if you have any doubt.
Best regards.
