Hi

Thankyou for your question.

Is this new?
Has he always drank so much?

Hi

I'm not too concerned about the smell but noctuia ( up through the night to urinate) and a weak stream do merit attention from his Dr.

Hi

Nocturia can be a symptom of diabetes or a narrowing of the urinary tract ( as is poor stream).

He needs some bloods, urinalyisis , a physical exam and possibly some further tests depending on the findings.
