Any advice for a 55 yr old having difficulty passing urine which is more like a watery stool with no pain in kidneys?
Patient: MY HUSBAND (55YR) HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE PASSING URINE FOR A FEW DAYS - FULL BLADDER, SMALL AMT OF URINE AND IN AGONY WHEN TRYING TO GO. LATER TONIGHT HE NOTICED HIS URINE WAS A REALLY DARK COLOUR WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE PARTICALS OF DUST OR MINUTE BITS OF SOMETHING (MORE LIKE A WATERY POO) AND HAD A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE BLOOD CLOTS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE S EXPERIENCED TROUBLE GOING BUT NEVER WITH BLOOD CLOTS OR BITS OR THIS DARK. I SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE HIS PROSTRATE INCREASING. NO PAIN IN KIDNEYS. NEARLY IN TEARS TRYING TO PASS URINE THOUGH. CAN YOU HELP OR ADVISE PLEASE? Doctor: hi, your husband seems to have 2 issues1. prostrate enlargement resulting in straining to void urine2. severe urine infection. you need to get an ultrasound abdomen for prostrate and cystitis or any renal stones. urine microscopy and culture will identify the infection. before that, you may try OTC antibiotics like norfloxacin.  Hope this helped.
