Enlarged Prostate, Prescribed Flotral After Uroflowmetry And USG. Could Fatty Liver Be Due To Flotral?
Last month I was advised to take Flotral daily after a uroflowmetery and USG test -- having been diagnosed for moderately enlarged prostrate. Having taken the medicine regularly, which has immediately helped in the urine flow, went for the review wherein got the same tests done again --- but this time the radiolgist also commented for a fatty liver . Could this be due to the flotral or is that it was missed out in the first test analysis. Thanking You.

Hello,
FLOTRAL doesn't result in fatty liver.
Side effects of FLOTRAL are genearally postural hypotension,headache,fatigue etc.
If you have got your repeat ultrasound done within few weeks then it is unlikely for fatty liver to have developed in such a short span of time.
Most likely liver might not have been looked into in your earlier ipultrasound because everybody was concerned about prostate only.
Slight fatty liver is very common and may not be there due to particular cause but a moderate fatty liver can be caused by various causes like alcohol,obesity,high cholesterol,diabetes,high triglycerides,arouse types of hepatitis etc.
Talk to your doctor regarding fatty liver if it is not mild.
Thanks
