Question : My mother[65yrs] is diabetic and currently in control as she is taking alopathic medicine daily in the morning. She is having urine passing issues with burning sensation and sometime with in month once or twice in the night she is unable to pass the urine due to this she cries/weeps alot for 2-3 hours and then only it passes in drops after taking alkasol syrup with water, i would like to understand this issue with details as this is happening quite frequently now. She had undergone with 2 minor surgeries after consulting with UROLOGIST one recently and other 2years back. As per urologist consultation this is due to abnormal blood sugar levels whenever she skips the sugar medicines. Now i am not convinced with this as she is quite regular to sugar medicine and mostly 5-6 times in a week out of 7 days she takes the medicine. I would like to know your point of view with details on symptoms and correct line of treatment for her.
She does not sleep peacefully due to this and often wakes up early in the morning due to this problem. Kindly provide details.
