The most common cause of frequent urination in men is enlarged prostate or BPH(benign prostatic hyperplasia). The prostate grows as men age. The prostate starts growing when men are 30-40 years of age. \u00a0Over time as the prostate grows further it blocks the urinary stream. \u00a0The bladder doesn’t empty completely and as a result fills fast.
