Brief Answer:
symptoms suggestive of obstructive prostate gland.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
It's good you've sent the reports with you.
The reports clearly show, the prostate gland enlargement is the cause of his symptoms.
The reports show,
1) He must be passing urine, with very poor pressure.
2) He's not able to empty his bladder completely.
The prostate gland may not be an uniform enlargement.
He should stop the Urispas and Meftal spas.
He should start Tamsulosin at bedtime, daily.
He should start Phenazopyridine daily.
He should be drinking about 10 glasses fluids daily.
He needs to do certain tests, for further evaluation :
1. Urine routine and culture.
2. Blood routine, creatinine, PSA, platelets and LFT.
According to the reports,i shall advise further treatment.
Wish him good health.

My father consulted a local urologist before consulting you and he suggested for catheterization for one week. and after catheterization, he got relief from pain. now he started using medicine that you are suggested. will there be any problem for continuing catheterization?
Please provide a schedule for above mentioned medication.
Thanks and Regards, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Follow local Urologists treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Phenazopyridine is used in people having burning sensation, while passing urine.
It gives very good relief in majority of people.
While taking it, the person gets a dark yellow-orange tinge to the urine.
The dosage of drug to be taken, depends on severity of burning sensation felt.
You can send the reports when available.
Catheterisation is advised when,person can't pass urine at all.
The Urologist would've given clear instructions on medication, after catheterisation.
Kindly follow that,in your father's health interest.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
