What Causes Excessive Weight Loss And Frequent Urination?
since April I have lost 13.5lbs. For approximately the last 2 weeks I have had periods of time when I have had frequent urination and in the last 5-6 days also feeling dehydrated and occasional dry mouth. I am almost 64 and have had an enlarged prostate since my 20s. Their have been 2 other recent changes. In April I had a few bottles of original formula coca-cola and in the last few weeks I have been drinking some of the Mexican Coke, which is also made with real sugar and not corn syrup. I have not been drinking any other carbonated beverages over the last 5-6 years. After total celibacy for over 4 years, I stated to masturbate again and things do not appear to be working right.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can
A urinary tract infection is a common cause of frequent urination and this is the first thing to think of. An overactive bladder is another common cause but usually seen on elderly,although it may be seen in youngs as well.
Overactive bladder is usually a collection of symptoms that can lead to frequent urination. These include: urinary urgency, or the sudden urge to urinate, caused by muscle contraction, urge incontinence, or loss of bladder control. Excessive caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol may also irritate the bladder walls and can worsen frequent urination symptoms. Treatment for frequent urination depends on the cause. Your doctor will first treat the primary disease responsible for frequent urination, such as diabetes. If an infection is at fault, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics for getting rid of the infection.
Medications that control the muscle spasms in the bladder can help reduce urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control. Your doctor also may suggest doing pelvic exercises, such as Kegels or bladder retraining exercises, to help delay urination.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
