Change in urinary habits
My husband CONSTANTLY urinates. He goes all the time. When he goes, it is a full steady stream. He is 35 years old and has no health problems. He has went to the bathroom 4 times since he came home 2 hours ago. He said this has been going on for 2 days. He urinates at least once during the night, which has been going on for years. Any input will help. Thanks.

Hello,
Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but frequent urination (polyuria) can be due to diabetes mellitus. Other possibilities are diabetes insipidus, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, diuretic drugs and benign hyperplasia of the prostate(in males).
In my opinion, investigations like kidney functions, blood sugar levels, ultrasound lower abdomen , intravenous pyelography ,prostate specific antigen blood test, thyroid function tests and cystoscopy may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. I sincerely advice you to consult a urologist or nephrologist for your husband and get him evaluated so that a confirmatory diagnosis can be made.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
