And when I urinate, it is normal with large amounts, without pain, without obstruction, during the night up to 2 times, and during the day up to 9 times.

Hello,

Get blood tests done to help identify underlying conditions like diabetes or kidney function issues that may contribute to frequent urination. You can have a post-void residual (PVR) test done to check the residual urine in the bladder. It may be indicative of bladder dysfunction or any obstruction.

Urinalysis (R/E and C/S) to check infection, blood, or abnormal substances in urine. Check for diabetes (insipidus or millitus). You can get cystoscopy, urodynamic tests, and electromyography (EMG) done. These tests will help your healthcare provider or urologist to better understand the cause of your symptoms and treat them at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
