Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / October 2006Newbie question
I'm new to this newsgroup so I apologise if my question has been asked ad nauseum. I have BHP, but the symptoms are not very severe. The worst is always having the feeling I want to pee. This feeling does not originate in the bladder, but in the urethra. There is a sensation that something, urine, that is irritating the urethra. I don't mean the pain of a urinary tract infection, more of an itch. Is this common? Thanks John Yes, that is very common. I had the same feelings as well. Mine was really more at night and not during the day. It has all but gone away now after changing diet and a lot of herbal stuff. Not sure what fixed it, but it was a very slow proccess. Still get up once at night, and the stream isn't as good at night, but I feel I empty good now. Jackie > I'm new to this newsgroup so I apologise if my question has been asked ad > nauseum.

I had a TURP back in June 2006 post HDR Brachytherapy. Prior to the TURP I had semi-blockage, now I have random Incontinence coupled with extreme urethral pain if I haven't cleared my bowels. Between motions it's bearable. The Uro gave me some Oxybutynin Tabs to calm the Incontinence, but they also step up the Constipation, causing the whole cycle to recur until I clear the chute again with Laxatives. I hope this doesn't happen to you! -Please reply to group as my email addr is fake! It may be obvious to those who know their anatomy, but just what is the connection between full bowels and urinary difficulties? Just what is the anatomy? Further, there seems a connection between blood pressure and urinary urgency. This is a little more difficult tof me to understand. When I take my bo upon arising, the inflating cuff causes immediate urinary urgency. What's the connection? Also bp's taken first thing in the am can be very high.

When you get a DRE and they put pressure on the prostate, it causes urinary urgency feelings. I think if the prostate is already hyper sensitive, gas or even the need for a bowel movement can cause the same urgency feelings. I can really see where constipation could cause pressure being placed on the prostate. I have noticed these same symptoms is why I made a change in diet. > It may be obvious to those who know their anatomy, but just what is the > connection between full bowels and urinary difficulties?

It is always recommended that you should not have a full bladder when you take your BP. but at least the cuff does not have that effect on me.

Go figger!! -Please reply to group as my email addr is fake! -Regards CC > SNIP Also bp's taken first thing in the am > can be very high. > > Mystified My understanding is that this is common. It occurs because the process of the body changing from a sleeping state to a waking state is stressful. Hence the hgh bp. Hence also the reason why heart attacks and strokes tend to occur at that time of day ! Yes, hi bp in the am is called, technically, "morning surge," and is quite dangerous. I am being successfully treated for this with 120 mg dilttazem at bedtime, which brings it down in the morning. But separate from that is this strange phenomenon: blood pressure cuff causes immediate urinary urgency. Why?
