What Can Be Done For Frequent Urination Due To Metastatic Prostate Cancer?
I have metastatic prostate cancer. I am up from 5 to 12 times a night to urinate. I also soak through two or more Depends. Dr. trying Flomax but it only helped the first night. I have been on it for only 6 nights so I know I need to allow more time but I am VERY discouraged. I am in Hospice so you can see that the serious of my condition is acute.
Thank you, Dr. Grief

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
There are certain pharmaceutical agents which gives good result in increased frequency of urine but in your case role of that medicine would be questionable, instead you can stop drinking the water four hours prior to bed and try to void the bladder, so your bladder may remain empty during night, this is the best way rather than taking any medicine for this hope this could help you have nice day.
