Getting up 2 or 3 times at night belongs to be frequent urination, whenever you urinate, you have a bowel movement, which may be benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infection, gastroenteritis, and can be treated with medication.
The most common symptom in the early stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia is frequent urination, especially at night. In the early stage, the enlarged prostate gland is congested and irritated leading to frequent urination. In later stages, the bladder capacity decreases and the frequency of urination becomes more severe.
The enlarged prostate will also compress the posterior rectum to a certain extent, increasing the pressure in the urethra during urination and irritating the rectum resulting in a small bowel movement. This can be treated with medications such as finasteride.
Urinary tract infections such as cystitis and urethritis can also cause frequent urination and stooling at the smallest of times. They can be treated empirically by a doctor, or a urine culture can be done for a drug sensitivity test to select a sensitive antibiotic.
Gastroenteritis can make a person want to go to the bathroom all the time, urinate frequently, and want to have a bowel movement as soon as you have a small bowel movement. Gastroenteritis needs a light diet, appropriate anti-inflammatory, supplement some intestinal probiotics.
In severe cases, it is recommended to actively seek medical attention to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment.
