An Update

This morning (2-6-08) I had to go through a bladder test. The goal
was to be able to urinate ~115 mL into a container; I only made it to
~80 mL.. In went a catheter and water was injected to allow for a
repeat test. The insertion was the usual nightmare, and the water
injection quickly resulted in an uncontrollable urge to let go. That
part of the test was considered to be okay.

Then I had to have a SECOND (albeit smaller diameter) catheter
inserted with another one up my rectum; then water was slowly again
injected up my bladder 'till I was allowed to flow again while a
machine did some measurements of what was going on....I'll know the
results of this morning's ordeal next week (2-13-08) during a
scheduled meeting with my Uro...The after effect of this was a high
spike of stinging at urination ~an hour later, but after a few hours
now that has seemed to disappear. As well, the spasming both
immediately at the onset and end to urination seems to have moderated
to a spasm only at the end of urination. I hope this keeps up....

For about 7 years I'd been keeping moderate BPH at bay, using "natural
remedies" and some biofeedback principles. I NEVER allowed my bladder
to get full; I obeyed that adage "An empty bladder is a happy
bladder". However, I did have difficulty with starting a stream and
with intermittent flow.
