Re: An Update



As of today(2-25-08), it looks as if my recovery fron the Green Light
Laser surgery is beginning to approach completion. The consequences
of the surgery were episodes of incontinence (with a sream lasting
only ~3 to 4 seconds). Any urination was followed by a hard spasm or
contraction, leaving a stinging/burning feeling in the privates.
Sitting seemed to aggravate the almost continuous discomfort in the
privates and lower abdomen.

Today the above symptoms seem to have mostly disappeared; the bladder
contractions still occur, but with no lasting sting/burning effects.
After over a month of putting up with this, it looks like I may be
getting back to normal (I hope to GOD this is true)!!

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.
