Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? Any burning urination?
There are many causes for it. if i am ur attending doctor i will definitely look at your blood sugar levels as well as prostate size.
Enlarged prostate is most common cause for it. i will get ur URINALYSIS along with ULTRASOUND PELVIS as well as random blood sugar. after then i will be able to offer you any treatment.
meet your doctor for proper examination and investigations.

Meanwhile stay calm
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
