### input:
Had a vasectomy in 1976.  Over the past 3--5 years I have had episodes of needing to urinate 5-10 times per night into the morning.  Mostly trickle, sometimes just a little more.  Recently I was in my car traveling home and was caught in a snowstorm which caused gridlock traffic patterns.  For 10 hours I sat in traffic before making it to an exit for relief.  Now my prostrate is swollen and a UTI has all but knocked me down.  My doctor put me on 1 500mg Ciprofloxacin HCL tablet every 12 hours.  I also take 1 Centrum Silver supplement daily.  I have been drinking cranberry juice and water, and although it feeling less painful to urinate, I stand and go, it stops, I sit and wait a minute, stand and go.  Is there any other supplement (like zinc, etc) that I should be taking for my prostrate?  Any help you can give in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  I have to fly to Canada Monday and will be gone for a week.

HelloThanks for query, Based on what you have stated you have enlarged prostate and now has urge incontinence. Taking alpha blockers like Tamsulosin and Finasteride once daily with Ciprofloxacin twice daily will help to relieve congestion of prostate and help to improve your urine flow.However, you need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done .to confirm the diagnosis.1) Routine urine test and urine culture 2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis to see the size of the prostate and post void urine residue. Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.
