What Causes Trouble Urinating?
Hello, Dr. Rynne. My husband is 65, and having trouble urinating. He says the stream is slightly orange in color. He s had rapid, shallow breathing for at least 4 days. He has diarrhea, and stiffness in his joints. We have a dr. appointment in 2 hours. Do you have a sense of what his diagnosis might be? I m so worried.
