Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 56-year-old male who has been dealing with diabetes and hypertension for the past decade, and I have been taking metformin and metoprolol for these conditions. However, in the last two months, I have been experiencing troubling symptoms, including frequent, urgent urination, discomfort in the pelvic area and lower back, and difficulty in completely emptying my bladder. Given my existing health conditions, I am quite concerned about these symptoms and their potential impact on my overall well-being. Can you advise me on any immediate relief I can seek for these symptoms?
Thank you.

Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
