Serious Heart Problems With Swollen Scortum. Was In ICU On Catherater. Any Suggestion?
My husband has had serious heart problems and been in the hospital. They worked in medical ICU to get his fluid under control and his blood pressure. He has been on a catheter for several weeks. They moved him out of ICU to another floor supposedly to give him therapy. HOWEVER, a doctor (new) took him off all his lasix and he went from weighing 138 when admitted to 175 for release. His legs, penis and scrotum was swollen to the max.
Sctotom was the size of a soft ball or larger. He can home from the hospital around the 18th of this month and I had to take him to another hospital to have a cath, because he was so swollen and still is. Do you have any solutions to his problem

Hi, it appears to be the condition of prostate problem, and the heart problem must be secondary to the prostate.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. He must be having prostatis, benign prostatic hypertrophy, or malignant prostate,If it is benign he can have prostatectomy surgery, if infection, he can get relieved by the medication, if malignancy the doctors will decide the way of treatment. With this treatment he can relief of thecardiac problem also.
Thank you.
