HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the incidence of urinary tract infection in the male is very rare so this is out of question here, now for the constipation have a more fiber containing diet, drink more water, if your are taking stool softener then it should be Isabgol powder, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
