Thank you for your reply.
I am mostly concerned because I had a heart catheterization two months ago and am now on two bp meds, Lipitor, and Brilinta blood thinner plus Tamsulosin, saw palmetto and cranberry for my prostate. Would any of these contribute to the situation. My psa is about 4.
I am not diabetic and the urine does not have a strong odor and is clear except for the film that forms on the toilet water surface.
I have had bladder stones once three years ago. I do have to urinate 3-4 times during the night and after sitting for a long time.
