My father is 89yrs old and has suffered prostrate problems and infections in the past.Today he is passing blood and also finding it difficult to pass urine, he also says he doesn t feel like he wants to pass water either, upto the time of this e-mail he hasn t been to the toilet this morning. Please help.
Need to meet the urologist and get ultrasound abdomen and pelvis (with pre and post void urine) and urine routine and serum PSA LEVELS.
With age, the prostate increase in size and condition called BPH(BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA) DEVELOPS WHICH CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN PASSING URINE.
As age advances chances of the development of cancer in the prostate also increase presenting as obstruction or bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nataraj Naidu R, General Surgeon
