Hi again, there is another problem with my uncle. It's urine retention that
he has let's say occasionaly. When he saw a doctor he was told that it's
because of prolonged prostate though he's not certain yet. My uncle also
has this high blood pressure issue. I wonder if this has anything to do with
the retention.
Thanks for any ideas.
there is one thing, sometimes he ignores the need of passing urine.
Maybe because the right time thing.
I can't offer any help right now, but I just wanted to say that I thought you came up with a really catchy thread title.
Thanks gustavratzenhofer, it's a problem anyway. I want to know if there
are any kind of juices, fruit, vegetables, etc that can help relief here.
Hi Phoenix, the problem is how you can talk to him to see a doctor!
You could try tempting him with some favorite thing or other if he goes to the doctor.
Hi Chumly, I will see if I can tempt him with something. I know it's
serious, and I'm doing my best with him.
Hi Phoenix32890, it's something called benign prostate hyperplasia. I
think the only way is to remove that. In this case there won't be any
chance for getting any baby. He is now say 51. But, I read about
medications, I wonder if there is a good chance with it. We want to make
the removing thing our last solution.
Still having a hard time talking with him, but I think there is a tiny light at
the end of the tunnel. Talked to all his sons and daughters, hope
something will happen.

In other words an enlarged prostate.
Many many older men suffer from this condition.

Maybe the poor guy just wants to be left alone...
...Or it could be prostate cancer.
