What Causes Frequent Urination At Night?
My husband is 65 years old. Had Prostate cancer at 50 with brachytherapy as treatment. PSAs 0. When he goes to bed, he has to get up some nights as often as 7 times to urinate. Or at least feels like he has to. He has also been newly diagnosed with Parkinson s and has started Carpidopa/Levaodopa. Is there any thing else other then prostate problems that can be going on? This has been a problem for a while. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Though one common causes of urinary urgency frequency in elders is prostate, other causes include urinary tract infection, high sugar, high calcium. Certain drugs may also cause it. So in would suggest he should get his urine checked for infection, check his sugar, calcium and ultrasound of the prostate. Mostly it's one of these to cause it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
