I am diabetic, and I urinate frequently. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The ultrasound report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) shows enlarge prostate. You have urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate. The pre-void volume is 300 mL, and post-void volume is 230 mL, which is more. Also, left kidney is small, and it might be non-functioning due to diabetes. You require getting uroflowmetry tests and DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) scan to check the status of the left kidney.

Thanks. For further query consult a doctor back.

Yes, the urethra can be narrowed, but it cannot be commented on the ultrasound report. Did you have tests to check narrowing of the urethra like uroflowmetry or retrograde urethrography? If the urethra is narrowed, then you require surgery. If the urethra is normal, then also you may require surgery for prostate depending on the uroflowmetry report. Thanks. For further queries consult a doctor back.

I saw the attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The flow is very poor. It looks like narrowing of the urethra. You require surgery. If the narrowing of the urethra is present, it should be treated, or if no narrowing is there, then prostate has to be treated. Thanks. For more information consult a doctor back.
