What Causes Difficulty In Urinating Along With Backache?

my 80 year old mother was told she has a mango size growth in her abdomen and its causing inability to urinate, severe stomach and back pain, and she has constipation. the growth was found with a CAT scan but she was sent home and told to call her Dr. on Monday. They ve suggested surgery. In the mean time, she was told to take whatever helps eliminate constipation for her, no pain meds. Any suggestions? Is there any way to determine type of growth without just opening her up?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

She has to get evaluated by a surgeon.

As of now, she can take laxatives like Lactulose for constipation. Include more fiber rich foods in her diet for symptomatic relief.

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