Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / April 2004Urinating very slowly and it's uncomfortable
For like the past year or so I've noticed I've been urinating very slowly and now it's to the point where it just dribbles out. It's very uncomfortable because I feel like i have to go so bad, but hardly anything comes out so it takes forever to go. It's also very uncomfortable afterwards. What could it be? Is there anything I can do to help this along or maybe cure it? > For like the past year or so I've noticed I've been urinating very slowly > and now it's to the point where it just dribbles out.

It is the subject of this newsgroup. ill What is it, how do I learn more about it? Sorry, new to this. > > For like the past year or so I've noticed I've been urinating very slowly > > and now it's to the point where it just dribbles out.

It could be because of a large prostate or some prostate tissue blocking the urine flow. It might also be due to a bladder problem. This can be determined by bladder (urodynamic) testing. Once you find the cause of the problem, you then must decide whether to treat it by medicines, various supplements, or more invasive procedures like surgery. Take the time to go back and read postings to this newsgroups. If you see the abbreviation 'PVP', - that refers to Greenlight Laser surgery. There is also the Turp, Tuna, microwave etc. Take it one step at a time.

Diagnosing someone like this is simply irresponsible. To advice to see a doctor is the right thing.

Diagnosing someone like this is simply irresponsible. If a person takes a poster's advice, from this newsgroup, without consulting a competent physician, he is a infinitely greater fool than the advisor. This group certainly supplies insight on how its posters respond to various treatments. Bill Bill, I certainly agree that anyone who had PVP (or any other procedure) purely on the unsupported recommendation of one member of the group would not be likely to make sensible decisions about anything! Nevertheless I think Peter had a point. Whatever the degree of enthusiasm we may individually have for PVP as a treatment for BPH, it's by no means clear that Jason even has BPH - indeed, it's rather unlikely at his age. Some of the possible causes of his symptoms (e.g. a urethral stricture) can't at this point be treated by PVP at all, as far as I know - certainly that hasn't been discussed here. We should steer clear of suggesting anything (other than a visit to a urologist) to someone in Jason's position - we're not experts and anyway we can't diagnose anyone remotely. Jason clearly does need to see a urologist, who can organise the necessary tests. Richard Slessor |
