Why isn't he under the care of a physician if he has other health issues? And aren't you allowed to speak to his urologist without seeing him?
Anyway, if your Dad is urinating large amounts frequently, he could have diabetes. You can't let that go. If he is urinating small amounts frequently, it could be a prostate problem and any number of bladder problems including a urine infection which can't be ignored. Your first step is to see his regular doctor. The results of that visit can determine if the urologist needs to be involved.

My Dad is 72 yrs. old with bladder cancer. No treatments can be given to him due to other health issues. He did have his bladder scraped in June which decreased his bleeding until just recently. He is now started to urinate a LOT as well as doing a LOT of sweating. He gets very little rest because he is up off and on during the night because of these symptoms. Since he is no longer under the care of a physician, we have no doctor to ask. Are these symptoms something to worry about or are they fairly normal considering his condition???
