What Causes Frequent Urination?

also this urination problem is more frequent during night time than day time
thanks
Prostate gland enlargement/ UTI, is likely cause for symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
Your father has typical symptoms of prostate gland enlargement.
He's not getting any treatment for it. Terol is given to relax the bladder.
Kindly send me his urine culture, urine flow rate,blood creatinine, PSA, sugar, and ultrasound scan reports, to advise you, further expert management.
IBS and prostate gland obstruction symptoms, are not linked, but your mother's death, could have some psychological effect, which may not be significant.
Tell him to drink about 8-10 glasses fluids daily, but to avoid drinking more than one glass at bed time, or during night time.
Kindly reply with all medication being taken at present.
Wishing him well.


Thank you.
The report_A_P3.jpg has the urinary flow information. Thanks
Prostate gland is not significantly enlarged.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Have gone through all reports sent.
The prostate gland isn't significantly enlarged.
However, urine flow rate is sub-optimal, as per reports.
An alpha blocker( Tamsulosin), once at bed time, may be given by your doctor.
The blood reports and urine culture report, as advised in earlier reply, is not sent.
Also, all medication being taken, should be sent.
Wishing him well.


Thank you
sorry for typo errors. attached additional 8 more reports starting with IMG_
request you to please review.
Thanks
Complete information still needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
PSA, urine culture, and present medications being taken, are not with reports sent.
With complete reports, i can give you an expert advice.
Wishing him well.


is it ok to take Tamsulosin for 10 days and try? Thanks
Inform reports as available.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Till all reports are available, Tamsulosin may be tried.
PSA and urine culture must be done.
The effects of Tamsulosin should be felt in a weeks' time.
Keep your Urologist informed.
Hope he feels much better.


My father took Tamsulosin 0.4 mg yesterday night. this was first time he tried. today morning , my father mentions that there is no even a single drop of urine passed and he is having back pain at lower left (above waist line). does it have any side effects or is there any reason to worry. He mentions its near his left kidney area he know has pain. how long should he wait for urinre to pass before he can see a doctor. is this urine not passing some sort of emergency situation ???
Thanks
yesterday night after taking tablet also he did go to bathromm for 6 to 7 times.
i mean he went for urination for 5-6 times already yesterday night. from morning he is not not gone
dear sir, after medication is this normal?
No instant relief.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Tamsulosin takes few days to act. Don't expect instant results, like instant coffee.
All symptoms are typical of prostate problem.
If Tamsulosin doesn't make give relief in symptoms in 10 days or so, your Urologist should be able to suggest an alternative medicine, which's even more effective.
You can get an expert opinion here also.
Wish him well.
