Possible: Have your urine infection treated with appropriate antibiotics. If you still have frequent urination, see your urologist.

See urologist: Enlarged prostate can cause frequent urination due to obstruction and partial voiding of volume in the bladder. Also during time of acute urinary infection frequent urination occurs. Examination by urologist will confirm prostatic enlargement and can prescribe medication to help urination and medication possibly to diminish enlargement of prostate that occurs with age.

Possibly: I would recommend an appointment to see a urologist as there are many possibilities that might raise the risk of UTI. You need to be evaluated to assess prostate size, rule out scar in the urethra (penis drainage tube), and also to to get some imaging of the kidneys to make sure there are no kidney stones or obstructing issues "upstream". Your bladder may need to be examined also.
