From about July 2020 increasing need to pee. I put it down to age and I am hesitant to go to the Dr (comments that NHS not functioning).

More frequent need to urinate and started taking herbal remedies. Aches & pain I put down to gout.

My daughter insists I go for a test when I get back to the UK (grandfather duties).
