Hello,
The frequent urination sounds to be from various possible issues like urinary tract infection, prolapsing bladder from ligament laxity, neurologic disorders as diabetes, spinal cord nerve compression or so forth.
In my clinic, I recommend detailed case evaluation with urine culture, CT scan with intravenous dye with or without uroflowmetry to reach the possible cause and manage accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
