Hi there.
Thanks for writing in.
Is your husband on any medication for prostrate complaints? Certain medications can cause side effects like dizziness/fatigue while standing up, due to hypotension.
Inadequate diet and fluids could be another cause of tiredness.
I would advise you to take your husband to a doctor for a physical examination and rule out postural hypotension.
In the meantime, let him pass urine in the sitting position, and not in the standing position.
Hope this helps .
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
