Plead for prayers for my granddad

Post by MatthewAngby »

I beg all of you to help my grand dad. He told me that he pees every 1 hour every night , and that he is unable to sleep well every night. He says it Only happens at night.

Please do offer prayers for my grand dad I beg all of you. I really hope he recovers from his situation.

Should I give u all his name if that would help or would that be ok?

Pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto can help with nocturnal urination. Also I've found that sleeping sans underwear helps due to the lack of pressure around the area from the waistband.

If someone shot an arrow in your back, would it help to pray it goes away...or would it help if someone pulled the arrow out ?

He should really see a doctor for a check up. Maybe he has something else going on . Maybe find a doctor that cares, instead of one that tells him he's just old....he should have his problems addressed so he can sleep at night, and be healthy.

I will say prayers for your grandfather, so he can get the help he needs, so he can be comfortable and relax.

Additionally he probably could benefit by seeing a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, a Tibetan medical doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner.

If his frequent urination is UTI related, you might want to try white radish, which is good for urinary disorders, especially with treating any sort of infection caused by an overactive bladder. Radish soup is a popular home remedy where I'm from. Some people also consume the leaves. Alternatively, you could juice it.

That said, it has to be taken in moderation, depending on the exact nature of your granddad's condition, as I believe radishes are mildly diuretic.

Avoid spicy food, alcohol and caffeine. And of course, get medical treatment first and foremost!

Is there a reason why his doctor didn't prescribe Tamsulosin or another alpha blocker?
