Urologist 's  Response
Hi,

At the age of 62 years, UTI is possibly due to prostatic obstruction. Cranberry juices have not shown proven benefit and not cost effective. You need to get him evaluated. Smoldering UTI can cause weakness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Devendra Choudhary
