Hello Thanks for query .You are known to have Enlarged Prostate and taking medications (Detrusitol) prescribed by your family physician and now passing foul smelling and cloudy urine .
The foul smelling and cloudy urine is mostly due to UTI resulting from infection of stagnant residual urine due to Enlarged Prostate.
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis. 1) Urine routine and culture. 2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of Post void residual urine volume 3) Uroflowmetry
Further treatment regarding modality of treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
