Actually, difficulty urinating is NOT the problem I have.
It's that any time there's more than about an ounce of urine in my
bladder, my prostate yells at me, "You've got to go PEEEEE!!!"
So, I get up, drain my bladder, and am fine ... for about five to
fifteen minutes until my kidneys produce another ounce or two.
Gaaaaahhhh!
The doctor was surprised: When he looked around up there with that
cytoscope, he expected a full bladder that wasn't being drained;
especially as I was about screaming with a need to go pee. Instead,
only about an ounce of liquid was up there.
Even when he drained THAT, I still had to go pee again about five
minutes later.
The pressure, even if very minor, on the prostate triggers the need to
urinate ... and urinate ... and urinate ... and ....
Just while sitting here typing this, I had to get up and go pee twice.
And ... now my butt is getting bloody. ;-{
I just called the health-line-nurse for the local clinic; and they'll
get back to me.

My sympathies.
The scope my urologist used looked about as big around as my little
finger. ALL THAT was going up my ....
Yeah, they coated it with novocain; so you didn't feel it ... too much

Does make you wonder sometimes, doesn't it?
