Answers:
Your grandfather probably has an enlarged prostate- the prostate is responsible for control of urinary flow and also adds seminal fluid to sperm!. In older men, the prostate can become enlarged!. When this happens, the man may have difficulty emptying his bladder when he "pees"!. This causes the man to have to pee every 15minutes!. There are medications such as Flomax that sometimes help!. Other treatments may be surgical!. There are some guys that come into the ER where I work and they are suddenly unable to urinate at all!. We have to place a catheter in to drain the bladder!. Take your grandfather to his doctor and have him examined!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Some folks are prescribed diuretics when they have high blood pressure -- A major side effect of diuretics is making lots of urine!. Lasix, or furosemide is usually the medicine that does this!. Check the labels of his medicine!.
Another problem could be the prostate gland, but a doc would need to see him for that!.
Lots of urine could also be a symptom of diabetes!.

will be a rack with health books on it!.
Buy the book that says THE PILL BOOK
12th Edition!.
This book lists every medication!.!.!.what the
side effects are!.!.!.what interactions the drugs
have and any special precautions!. It is a
very good Rx book!. then he will know exactly which drugs he is taking that makes
him urinate so much!.
Also, what he is experiencing could be a
URINARY TRACT INFECTION!. He could
also be having a bladder or kidney problem!.
OR (and here's a major one he should check
out), he could be having prostate problems!.
He needs to see a General Practitioner
or better yet, a UROLOGIST!. He needs to
write down all his symptoms and when they
happen!. He needs to put all his meds in
a bag and take them with him!.
He can start tho by getting the Pill Book and looking up the side effects of whatever
he is now taking!.
Please tell him to remember that any
medication is harder on an older person and
the dosage should be adjusted according
to the side effects it is producing!.
If he doesn't like doctors, it's time he finds
one he likes!. We all get there sooner or later!.
