He also has some crystals in his urine. He went on anti-biotics and ant-infamatory med today. How can I help him. I live in Panama and the vet said no surgery is available. Again he is neutered. The vet said his prostate should be the size of a grape and it is the size of a plum. He weighs 15 lbs.

See if the meds help. If not you may have to end his suffering for him, humanly.

The availability of medicines and drugs of higher quality makes India the most sought after health destination. During the treatment of Prostrate surgery, a multi disciplinary approach to care is employed that ensures the delivery of quality patient outcomes. The staffing levels of our hospitals are set in such a way that it completely ensures prompt compassionate care for every medical or surgical patient. Prostrate surgery through the urethra is a type of transurethral surgery that does not involve an external incision. The surgeon reaches the prostate by inserting an instrument through the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder and out through the penis) to remove the section of the prostate that is blocking urine flow. The instrument is called as endoscope which has a camera attached to its tip which is then attached to a monitor. The surgeon looks into the monitor that shows the enlarged prostate and then cuts out and removes the enlarged prostate using specially adapted surgical instruments. Following the surgery, a catheter is used to remove blood or blood clots in the bladder that may result from the procedure. When the urine is free of significant bleeding or blood clots, the catheter is removed and the patient can go home. The success rate of Prostrate surgery through the urethra in India is more because of the high standard clinics, hospitals that are run by well trained and educated staff.

I do not have insurance, and a change in my diet has got to be a better way to live than not being able to afford the doctor recommended drugs.

Soy food, lots of water

I pee 8-12 times a day or more. The streams aren’t weak, but I do get sudden urges to go. I have never peed my pants or even come close. Plus some times I feel like I need to go, but nothing wil happen.
Any doctors in the house?

I am not a doctor, but i did work for one for 11 years. It is possible for a 20 yr old to have an enlarged prostate, but not all that common. You are having symptoms that could be related to other problems, such as bladder infection, urinary tract infection, etc. Some STDs have these symptoms as well. It is important to drink plenty of water and decrease your caffeine and alcohol intake (if any). Also get to the doctor and at least have a urinalysis done to check for infections. If that is negative then prostate exam, blood work and maybe a sonogram for more detailed analysis. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

He was taking Baytril 136mg and Deramaxx 100mg which appeared to help, but at times he still stands wide-legged. He is not spayed.

for males is NEUTERING!

NO HOME REMEDIES WILL WORK FOR SUCH SERIOUS CASE! TAKE HIM TO THE VET!!!
Dont have the money??…borrow it, sell something or apply in carecredit.com and see what vets accept it.

And please learn a lesson and neuter your dog. Neutering him could have prevented this!

Humane society does it for about $60 bucks for god’s sake. It starts at $60, it goes up depending on the weight.

Males-neutering

* Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated and decreases chance of prostate disease
* Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
* Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
* Less desire to roam and therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
* Reduces the number of unwanted dogs and cats
* Helps the animal live a longer and healthier life

Females-spaying

* Helps the animal live longer and healthier life
* Risk of cancers-mammary gland tumors, ovarian and uterine cancer is greatly reduced
* Reduces the number of unwanted dogs and cats
* No heat cycles so males will not be attracted
* Less of a desire to roam

I take a bowel movement daily. I do however wake up every night two times and have to push the urine out of me.

Gee, you have a girl for an avatar and your alias is lovemuffins but you ask about your prostate, LOL. Anyway, a lot of clinical studies have shown that saw palmetto extract, 160 mg twice a day (at least 80% fatty acids), helps a lot with shrinking an enlarged prostate, and is extremely safe. I strongly recommend it since I have seen a lot of patients helped by it.

Also, how can I learn more about what procedures are available.

There are many different approaches to an enlarged prostate, surgery is a choice after all other approaches have not worked.

Ask your GP who he would recommend?

My husband has this issue a few times a year. Is there anything he can do to make his pee come out? He says he feels he needs to pee and just can’t he has tried to pee for the last 3 hours. Is there anything he can do for immediate relief?
Thank you all for all your help he did finally pee and the doc called him in flomax and cipro you all were very helpful! Thanks!

He should see a doctor. There are medications like hytrin that make urination easier by relaxing muscles, or ones that directly reduce the enlargement.
If he cannot urinate at all, it’s a medical emergency and he should get to a doctor right away for catheterization (a thin tube inserted into the bladder–sounds terrible but it provides instant relief).
He can also have minor surgery to fix the enlargement more or less permanently. The procedure is called a TUR. When you read about it, it sounds awful but of course the patient is anesthetized.
There’s no reason for a man to continue to suffer from the effects of an enlarged prostate these days.
