Frequent Urge For Urination, Pain. Flat Prostate Diagnosed. Due To Taking Alfoo And Urispass?

I have continuous urge for passing urine & when I try to go late for passing urine, i experience continuous pain. The doctor (urologist) has said that my prostate has flatened & prescribed Alfoo 10 mg at bed time for indefinite period (i.e. till there is no pain) & Urispass for 03 months. I have been taking these two medicines since 16.05.13 but pain & frequency of passing urine has not reduced. Kindly advise.

Hello, Thanks for posting your query, If you take water pills (diuretics), talk to your doctor. Maybe a lower dose, taking them only in the morning, or a milder diuretic or change in the time you take your medication will help ease urinary symptoms. Don't stop taking diuretics without first talking to your doctor.
Limit decongestants or antihistamines. These drugs tighten the band of muscles around your urethra that control urine flow, which makes it harder to urinate.
Go when you feel the urge. Try to urinate when you first feel the urge. Waiting too long to urinate may overstretch the bladder muscle and cause damage.
Schedule bathroom visits. Try to urinate at regular times to "retrain" the bladder. This can be done every four to six hours during the day and can be especially useful if you have severe frequency and urgency.
Stay active. Inactivity causes you to retain urine. Even a small amount of exercise can help reduce urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate.
Urinate — and then urinate again a few moments later. This is known as double voiding.
Keep warm. Colder temperatures can cause urine retention and increase your urgency to urinate. Regards.
