Brief Answer:
This could be BPH or prostatic cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hello
i had gone through your question diligently and i can understand your concern

this could be due to Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer

I would like further information to help him better

what all symptoms is he having like urgency or frequency of urine?

I am sorry to say but if you can elaborate about the hole in linen of bladder, I couldn't get you exactly what you mean to ask?
is he diabetic, obese or having high blood pressure

Don't worry about the testicle which can be retracted physiologically as well

Please update me the complete medical history with all symptoms he is having, plus any investigation in recent past like blood and urine or an ultrasound

Hello Dear
I really appreciate your concern and worry for your son
His doctor has already given him a number of drugs
Morphine and oxycontin as a pain killer

It's been a about 3 months he's been sick. He has severe pain in his back and stomach. he has no appetite at all. He does have High blood pressure. He has a hard time urinating. And he bleeds from both ends. He is very depressed. His doctor prescribed Benicar for his high blood pressure. He stays sick on his stomach. Before this illness started. about a year ago he had kidney stones real bad. they removed one that was embedded in his kidney that was call a stackhorn that was the size of a .50 piece. He has had liprotripsy several times. I took him to the mayo clinic in XXXXXXX Fl. He seems to be better from that. He has been to Shans in Gainsville Fl a month ago but he is still so sick. I do not know what their diagnosis was.

Brief Answer:
He doesn't need all these medicines as per history

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Looking at his history it doesn't seem to be so complicated and he doesn't need all these medicines

In my opinion you should consult a urologist and gastroenterologist for establishment of an diagnosis

bleeding from both ends warrants detailed examination to find out the underlying cause

If you can upload me any lab reports I will be able to guide you better
You should ask your doctor to reduce the antidepressants and anti psychotic drugs, if possible because it produces serious side effects

Hope this answers your query
Regards
