I had an episode of urinary irritation and high fever in May 2012 and was treated in hospital with Piparacillin and Tozabactum IV because my creatinine level was 1.5 and urea was 33, RBs 2-3, WBC 5-10 and Albumin 20. The doctor finally diagnosed it as Cystitis and the urologist said it was due to BPH. Subsequently I was given Dutas-T once at night and I was taking it but after about a month I took only Tamsulosin and did not take the Dutasteride part of Dutas - T. Then I once again had the attack of severe urinary tract irritation and was hospitalised and given the same Piparacillin and Tozabactum combination called Piptaz. After that I started taking Dutas-T every night and since then I have good urine output and there is no problem. The Ultrasound and MRI taken in May 2012 showed in the report by the doctor that I was having Bilateral Grade 1 Parenchymal changes and Grade 2 Prostatomegaly. The Urologist also said that I have an enlarged prostate gland and I have to take Dutas T for life. If not I have to undergo surgery called TURP for prostate gland. I am a male aged 59 years generally in good health with Hypertension for which I am taking Telmisartan 40 mg. bi daily and also taking Allopurinol 200 mg at night for uric acid problem and Flunarizine 5 mg at night for migraine (flashing lights episode which I had in 2007 or 2008 or so). My blood sugar and cholesterol are normal as per recent tests. My father died in 2011 at age 82 due to long term diabetes related problems (hypogycemia and pulmonary oedema). My mother is also diabetic and is aged 80 and is frail but in normal health for her age. Kindly advise me whether I should undergo TURP and thus avoid Dutas-T??? I also have a mild MVP which is not giving problem but occasionally gives mild chest pain in left side but I am monitoring it with cardiologist every year and there is no MR and LV Function is normal as per Doppler test. I hope I have given a clear picture of my health status and look forward to your guidance.
