Mild infections can be flushed thru this way as it's often sediment that causes infection. Bad infections require antibiotics, his urologist can have a urine sample tested, and yes ask about Hiprex or Urex as a preventitive. Read our super pubic page and see the comments there for tons of good advice. Hi MichelleD, Encourage him to drink at least 3 liters/day.

We do know unfortunately it is terminal. The carer who wrote this article for me, Marilyn and I have a mate Keith who is pretty much at the bed-ridden stage. The feelings of helplessness can be hard to overcome. Just know your Father loves you and I?m sure he draws great comfort and strength from simply listening to you. It?s ok if you want to tell him your feelings. Chances are, he feels exactly the same.
