She has moderate hydropherosis. In the last 6 days her urination has short up to onc eevery 2 hrs. What could be the cause for the urination. Also her pain in the abdominal AND pelvic region.She is on endace 40mg four times a day since mid dec2012. The spread is to her lungs and spleen(mildly) and contained since its detection in Dec2012. What should I do to relieve her pain and reduce urination frequency. Please advice. Doctor: Hi,  Combiflam can not be given in impaired renal function. You should better try opioid group of drugs. Increased frequency of urination may be due to urinary tract infection, or bladder irritation due to local spread of disease, so a urine routine and culture may be helpful then the drugs can be selected accordingly. Consult your oncologist.
