Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. My brother is 35 years old. 5'5" 140 pounds. heavy smoker. my question is that I have noticed that whenever we do something as a family he always has to go to the bathroom. this Saturday he went to the bathroom 5 time in 2 hours. Is this normal?
Hi, i do care for your concern. Although smoking can cause benign changes in bladder it is usually of late origin. I would advise considering the age, do blood glucose level to know about diabetic status, as smoking may cause pancreatic etiology. To rule out chronic alcoholism and to get treated for it will help a lot. It is advisable to go for other ultrasound studies, after ruling out the above possibilities. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
