Is It Dangerous To Have Mild Prostate Enlargement?
hi
my dad, age 66, has a uti, Was seen by his urologist who diagnosed a uti and said mild prostate enlargement. Subsequent to that check up, he has had pyrexia for 2 days now, he says he sweated alot in bed. Has been put on tavanic 500mg one daily and something called detrunorm. The antibiotic is a 5day course and he currently has 2 days remaining. Now he has constipation and he claims it is from the finger test. Is he being managed correctly, should we not panic, are there any suggestions. many thanks

Hi,
Your father is being managed in right fashion and needs to continue on antibiotics. Finger examination doesn't cause constipation. Just follow your doctor and he shall be fine.
