Prostate or Kedneys?

I have problems urinating. It's hard to start, weak flow, can't empty the bladder. This started 3 days ago. I went to the doctor today and they took a urine test but don't know the results. They gave me a 10 day supply of antibiotics. I drank a lot of water and cranberry juice. So could this be a kidney problem because I have had prostate problems most of my life and I have never had anything like this and I'm 62 years old.

Friend,

I hope when you say you are seeing your doctor, that you mean you are seeing a good urologist. If not, I would strongly advised you to, as this kind of problem may get worse before it gets better. If it's due to an infection, then the right kind of antibiotic should help in a few days.

Please check back in and let us know how its going.

Good luck. I know that has to be uncomfortable at best, hopefully not too painful at this point.

You mention having suffered from an aging prostate. Have you been taking any medication for this? Experts say that as men age, the size of the prostate grows and may disturb urinary flow and functions. That is why doctors recommend having a prostate exam at least once a year for men over 40. From the little you have mentioned, at 62, what you are experiencing may have something to do with an aging prostate. Have you had a prostate exam recently? Have you ever considered taking prostate supplements? I have been taking Super Beta Prostate for the past two years, ever since I read up on research that shows certain nutrients play a positive role in supporting prostate health. You’ll find information on this easily available on the Internet. Vitamin D, specific minerals like zinc, along with a key nutrient called beta sitosterol, derived from plants support healthy urinary flow and prostate functions. I am 65 and it has been working for me.
