[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1949212, member: 468714"] From personal experience not as professional advice or opinion: In Australia at the moment with temps 36 degrees C plus in the day and 25 degrees plus at night the concern is not peeing enough. Dehydration can do that. Having high BSLs in such heat is a disaster waiting to happen as you can end up trying to drink fluid all the time and the sicker you get the more difficult it is to keep the fluids up. I have heard that a virus or bacterial infection can cause inflammation of the urethra, the end part of the tube through which the urine passes and the stinging leads to passing some amounts of urine frequently. With high BSLs the amount passed are in the 100's of mls usually. (um, personal observation only). A relative was diagnosed with prostatic cancer last year. From the information he received I gather that as the prostate grows as males age (not necessarily due to cancer) the gland grows inward around the urethra as well as outwards, just below the outlet from the bladder.. The inward growth makes it more difficult to empty one's bladder as the restriction causes the need for higher pressures/ Often some urine is left behind so that the bladder fills up more quickly again. So less urine passed each time, shorter time between pees. [/QUOTE]
