Thanks for that. It turns out that the reason for the catheter was an allopathic drug he was told to take which needless to say he is not now!! I started him off on Sabal 10 drops as his problem is frequent urination at night but told him it would take 4-6 weeks. He has now taken himself off the other drug that was meant to help with this as it wasn’t doing anything so I have told him he can take 20 drops 4 x a day if he wishes. I checked my herbal manuals and they suggest up to 60 drops 4x a day but they are probably referring to a standardised 1:5 tincture whereas mine is 1:3. Solidago is a protected plant, and shouldn’t be used. It is also very expensive now . I think Solidago would be far more important for an infection which he has not got.
One of the remedies I have included in his plussing regime (a La Dr Ramakrishnan) is Conium which as well as being a major Rx for his main presenting complaint is also a good one for the BPH.

Hello Rochelle
suggestions from:
Phatak
Sabal serrulata - Homeopathic catheter for the retention of urine due to enlarged prostate
Tincture 10 drops thrice daily in alternation with Solidago tincture 10 drops thrice daily in a little water
When urine is obstructed, or when the kidneys malfunction, Sabal may act as the homeopathic catheter
also
Boericke
Often replaces the use of the catheter – Thlaspi (Tincture, 5 drops in half cup of water thrice daily. Most of the time it replaces the need of catheter.
Sometimes makes the use of the catheter unnecessary – Solidago

I have never used this Rx in potency , only in a herbal form for prevention of problems. Just checked my Rx store and I have it in a 6x and a 200!!! Have you ever used it for this purpose – in which case which of those 2 potencies would you suggest in I ever needed it?
Thanks
Rochelle
