Question : need to discuss frequent urination this is a followup

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Do a prostate check up since a year passed since you did one.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think since you are having a year without a prostate check up I think is time to check it for possible enlargement.
Also you may need to check blood sugar levels for possible diabetes. Also doing an urine analysis is advisable for possible infection.

Since desmopressine worked once for you you can increase the dosage of it.
Also you can try to use anticholinergic drugs such oxybutynine preferably patches to help you cope with night frequent urination.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
