Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Prostate And The Frequent Urge To Urinate
Question: I am 62 year old male. Have an enlarged prostate so have had urinating frequency issues for a couple of years but just lately has increased. Also, urine is cloudy. Thanks
Brief Answer:
may be due to an urinary tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is possible that you may have an infection involving the prostate or any area of the urinary tract ( kidneys, ureter, urethra, bladder).
A urine analysis would be needed to confirm if this is the case. In some cases urine is also sent to the lab for urine culture so that the exact bacteria can be determined.
Treatment would require a course of antibiotics, copious fluids to flush the urinary tract and you can continue the cranberry products.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
