How To Treat UTI?
Dear Dr. Parsons,
It started with an ordinary UTI, but developed into feer and i went to ER. That was exactly a month ago.
I was given antibiotics, had a catheter check for "left overs" short manual prostate check and released home for treating with omnic and atibiotics
the urologist i went to prescribed tamsulosine (flomax) but that brought me again to the hospital with cardiac side effects. I was given Saw Palmetto instead but i still had difficulty urinating so i was given cadex 2 mg one daily. it did the same as flomax, just not that strong side effects. my urologist asked to stop
i had ultrasound and the psa blood test showed last one 43
now i have pain - moderate in all the pelvic area and groin i urinate difficultly with pelvic pain sometime
i keep taking the palmetto and two days ago started Himplasia twice daily
i don't feel better but i still can pee
would it be wise to take both palmetto and himplasia, or should i decide to cut one of them
my urologist does not know himplasia
please advise
thank you for your time

Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
Many of your symptoms are directly related to underlying prostate pathology.
This in your case should possibly be BPH-Benign Prostate Hypertrophy.
This can frequently lead to UTI's.
Since you are reporting pelvic pain,it's high time that you are treated adequately with antibiotics.You possibly seem to have Prostatitis.
The PSA can be elevated as part of infection and BPH process.
Saw palmetto is superior to Himplasia in my opinion.
Its very important that you continue both Flomax and Cadex as both drugs extremely superior in controlling the growth of the prostate,improving urinary symptoms and controlling the blood pressure respectively.
I generally treat my patients with oral tablets of Gudcef CV and Norfloxacin. I suggest you to please see a doctor if his views are same and if can prescribe these drugs for you.
Your symptoms will largely improve with these measures.
Post your further queries on my health page if any.
Thank you.
