How it's used

It is frequently used in contexts involving aging or health concerns.
Examples
He seems to have frequent urination lately, he keeps needing to go to the toilet.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply needing to go to the toilet often due to drinking excessive fluids, as the term implies a persistent, involuntary, or abnormal frequency that warrants medical attention.
