Subject: Symptoms Much Worse At Night

I started having urinary problems about seven years ago. About 3 l/2
years ago, I began to have "almost" acute urinary retentions at night
(almost completely blocked but going away in an hour or an hour and a
half). A month ago, I had my first complete AUR and catheterization.

All of the "almosts" and the AUR occured at night. I am always ok
during the daytime, except for frequency.

Is this experience typical? Does it suggest any kind of syndrome in
particular?

Appears to be to be typical bph but very severe. Has a urologist suggested
doing something (PVP, TURP, TUMT) to eliminated the problem?

Flow is typically slower at night (according to my uro). I too have
difficulty at night, and have had retention that required
catheterization. I'm on Flomax now and that helped quite a bit... no
retention since starting the meds back in March.

What does your uro say? Are you taking meds?

You might want to learn self-catheterization...

I had same problem for 6 years and had Cardular, Flomax, Proscar for
years. It helped of course but situation was getting no good year by year.
Had TUMT June 04 without ant effect in months. After I found this NG and
read a lot good posts since end of 04, I finally had PVP in 8 weeks ago. The
result is excellent and could not ask any more. The only regreat was I did
not find this NG earlier.
First, please do home work to search PVP related posts in this site, for
instance, you may search by "pvp TAP Patrick"(Parick is the pioneer of pvp in
this NG), "pvp Al", "pvp Dave C", "pvp Jim W", "pvp Mr. B"... Second, visit
an PVP experienced uro. Do not waste your time with uro who can not do pvp.
Wish all you the best.
