Is frequent urination a symptom of a bigger and more serious issue?

Yes: There are many reasons for frequent urination ranging from benign to dangerous causes. You could have a drug side effect, infection, prostate problems, kidney problems, hormone issues (there are lots of them: diabetes, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, pheochromocytoma, cushing's syndrome, addison's...)....If it's excessive to you and is not getting better, see your doctor.
