Is frequent nocturnal urination a symptom of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

As I get older, I pay more attention to my health. On the one hand, getting sick is too painful, and on the other hand, the pressure from my children is also great. So, whenever I feel any discomfort or unease, I tend to ask more questions. Recently, I've noticed that I urinate frequently at night. The key is that I don't drink much water before bed. Could frequent nighttime urination be a sign of prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

You are 60 years old, and you are experiencing increased nocturia again, which is also a very normal physiological phenomenon. As people age, all organs tend to gradually weaken in function. At 60, you have entered old age, and kidney function has already begun to gradually decline, making it easier to experience increased nocturia. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, so there is no need for you to worry. Mainly, try to reduce fluid intake before going to bed.
