I got up in the middle of the night because I felt like I had to pee with a full bladder, only a little came out. The same thing happended when I woke up in the morning. I have noticed some lower back pain as well. I understand that I should see a doctor, but what is the most likely cause?
Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from retention of urine. You have not mentioned your age. If you are more than 50 years old than you may be having benign enlargement of prostate (BHP), for which you require an operation (OUR) for which you have to visit urologist. You also have chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. Back exercises, neurotrophic such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You need to do MRI TO RULE OUT other causes. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
