What causes burning and a frequent need to urinate?

Answer by  starmlw (960)

This is usually the first sign of a urinary track infection. In a man that is 62, it could also be a sign of benign prostate hypertrophy or an enlarged prostate. These two possiblities go hand in hand because when the prostate enlarges it causes urinary retention which leads to infection. He should see a doctor.
