General Surgeon 's  Response
normal frequency of urination ranges between 6 to 8 times over a period of 24 hours .increased frequency could be attributed to various causes :-
most frequently can be due to urinary tract infections , which causes difficulty in passing urine increased frequency and a feeling of incomplete voiding .infection of the bladder (cystitis) is also a frequent cause .other causes could be bladder stones but that is rare .overactve bladder which is a neurogenic condition can also be a cause .

firstly to evaluate you need to get a basic urine routine microscopy and culture test done , which will give us an idea whether there is a underlying urinary tract infection., which is shown by he number of pus cells which therefore can be treated accordingly .

further evaluation caters to sonography of abdomen pelvis to see post void urine ( that is urine left is bladder after you pass urine ) which gives us an idea

to further evaluate we need to do a small cystoscopic examination of your urinary system in operation theatre using a small scope which gives an idea about entire anatomy and disease process. its a small painless procedure daycare called cystoscopy

medicines can be taken which reduces frequency like imipramine after proper evaluation

thanks
