Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query ,Based on the facts that you have posted your father has Chronic Retention of urine due to grossly enlarged prostate with impending renal failure .
You need to consult qualified Urologist for evaluation and get following basic tests done to decide further line of treatment .
1) Urine culture and take appropriate antibiotics.
2) Repeat Serum PSA after 3 weeks
3) He needs long term catheterization to regain his bladder tone which needs to be confirmed by doing Cystometric study of bladder
4) Once he regains his bladder tone which may take 4-6 months should be followed by endoscopic resection of Prostate (TURP).

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your father has large sized prostate. It can be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer. His PSA level is also high. He should go for TRUS guided prostate biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
