Brief Answer:
Prostate enlargement with UTI is possible cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxx and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, I can understand your concern.
Your father does have a prostate gland enlargement, with significant residual urine. That could've lead to urinary infection (UTI).
He should get examined by an urologist and do the following tests:
1. urine culture.
2. blood routine, creatinine, PSA,RBS,LFT and platelets.
3. uroflowmetry test.
He should continue with an Alfa-blocker, which has been started.
According to reports and his response to treatment, further advice can be given.
Wishing him well.
