Patient's question:
My grandfather is about to turn 80. In the early stages, he had prostatitis and underwent surgery when a thorough examination revealed heart problems. Later, he had a fistula surgery, and now his urination has been going well. Recently, he has developed swelling in both lower limbs, with severe swelling below the waist. I suspect it might be due to poor urination, so he was given diuretics intravenously for a few days. His condition improved slightly, but after a few more days, the swelling returned. What could be the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
How would you describe this person? How is your grandfather's appetite? Based on your description, we recommend taking your grandfather to the hospital for a thorough examination. If necessary, you can have an echocardiogram, liver function tests, and renal function tests to determine the cause of the edema. After identifying the cause, active treatment should be initiated. Heart problems, kidney issues, and liver problems can all lead to this. We hope the above answer to "What are the reasons for difficulty urinating with prostatitis?" will be helpful to you. Thank you.
