What Causes Severe Cold Sensation And Enlarged Prostate While On Metformin?

I am a 51 year old white caucasian male. Type 2 diabetes since 2009, now taking metformin 1000mg per day. 6 tall, 180lbs. Have been experiencing a severe cold sensation/feeling in my groin & hips, with intermittent severe pain in the creavis on each side. 2009 also discovered an enlarged prostate that was to be monitored. Now have deep ache/pain under and around the genitals on each side but is not a constant pain but always does ache while also experiencing low back/hip pain. The cold feeling is mostly when sitting but is becoming increasingly unbearable.

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P

Your symptoms could be due to Urine Infection , Kidney stones or some problems in nerves due to diabetes. Definitely this is not a side effect of Metformin , so continue taking it .

For further evaluation for the cause of your problem , I would recommend you to get Urine Routine test, Ultrasound Abdomen Pelvis scan and a per rectal examination done by a doctor.

Also let me know if your blood sugars are under control or not .

Kindly revert back with the test reports.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
