Anyone Have Urinary Retention? Posted: 05-08-05 18:23pm
Hi all. I constantly feel like I am not
able to completely empty my bladder. This
is especially frustrating at night. I
thought it was due to be constipated,
which I get a lot because of hemorrhoids,
but im not sure if thats the only reason I
get it. Does anyone know what can be done
to help empty the bladder completely? I
appreciate all your help.

Jen, I can only say that i've urine
retention of `19%. Stricture was ruled
out by having flexible cystoscopy. Was
diagnose having narrow bladder neck.
My prostate was slightly enlarge, the
first line of drugs are the alpha blackers
( alfozosin) 10mg per day that acks on the
smooth muscles of which the bladder neck
is made of. This medicationrelaxes this
muscles there by allowing . This have
given some relief. The doc says I should
try using this medication at least for 6
months.
Hope this info helps you.
Cheers

I see this was posted a while ago but I
just wanted to ask if you found anything
to treat this? I have an odd problem
where I will get spasms out of nowhere in
the muscles used to "hold in" pee. After
this happens I have urine retention and
sometimes can't even feel that I have to
go to the bathroom.

Husband Can't Empty Bladder Either Posted: 01-20-06 01:55am
Hi, my husband has had this problem for
over 15years. It can be a very serious
problem if not managed..He has been taking
5-10mg of hytrin for
the past 15years with minimal
relief...What we've discovered over the
years is the following....Yes constipation
and hemorroids can effect the
bladder......(he has frequent problems
with both) and what we've just
discovered this past year is......From not
emptying the bladder - the
bladder ( a stretchy muscular organ, which
can stretch greatly in size) can
also blow out pouches called diverticuli..
Caused from years of not
empyting out completely...My husband has 2
diverticuli found with ct scan
one the size of a grapefruit that
according to his urologist has been
forming for years...The treatment is
surgery,, to remove them and fix the
problem which will be cutting the bladder
spinter.. His surgery is scheduled for
the 13th of feb....So please see a
urologist and get treated..
Good luck.....

Suggest Bladder Scan Posted: 10-20-07 12:58pm
I also have had problems emptying. It was
discovered an enlarged prostate was the
main reason. Go to an urologist and have
an ultrasound bladder scan done. It is
easy and painless.
