Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Urination And Slow Urine Stream?
My father had an enlarged prostate and ended with a catheter which caused periodic infections. I do not want to find myself in that position although I have problems with frequent urination plus a restricted urethra which makes urination very slow. No sign of cancer as per PSA results plus periodic rectal exams and I am 75 years old. I take a lot of supplements such as saw palmetto and other combinations of ingredients in various prostate formulations but still have the problem. What else can I do to help my situation? My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY .
