Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Go see ur Family Doc: Reasons for consistent urination at night vary from diabetes mellitus to diabetes insipidus to benign prostate hypertrophy to drug side effect. Best to discuss concerns w/Family Doc who can start evaluation & refer to Urologist or Endocrinologist if appropriate. As for smelly stools, I think they all stink. No way to make them less stinky. Do be concerned if stool black & tarry or reddish maroon
