Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My 76-year-old father had urinary infection last month with a high number of pus cells. The infection started with fever, shivering, and slight pain with urination. The doctor prescribed Oflox 200 mg twice a day. After that, he was also prescribed ultrasound scanning. In the scan, it showed that his prostate was minimally enlarged. After antibiotic treatment and based on the ultrasound report, the doctor prescribed Urimax 0.4 mg once per day. The urine culture was also normal. After starting the treatment, the flow of urine is normal now and sometimes little out of control and early. Why is he passing urine a little early even before reaching the toilet?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This urgency and leak of urine are age-related. I can suggest him a medicine but it might cause some postvoid residual urine and more chance of infection. If the problem is very severe, only then give him the medicine. I suggest you take the tablet Soliten (Solifenacin) 5 mg once in the morning and evening for seven days and see the response. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take medications with their consent. If it is not severe and if it is manageable then I think do not start him on any treatment. Also, ask him to reduce fluid intake after 6 p.m. Daily fluid intake should be around two liters. Regards.
