My name is Allen Edelstein, I am 77 years old. My telephone number is 0000.I need a urologist because I have enlarged prostate and cannot urinate, I have a catheter and I am wearing a leg bag. I was in the emergency room 5 times already. I need an immediate operation but I have to wait for operation for a long time. I have more health problems- one of my eyes is closed and the other one has macular degeneration. I have to make the injections every 10 weeks. I need your help

Hi. An enlarged prostate with history of retention of urine resulting in catheterization and failed voiding trial... It is an absolute indication for surgery- TURP. Till the time u r delayed with surgery, u have to stay on catheterization. U can continue with Tamsulosin and Dutasteride combination. This will help in less bleeding during surgery.
