Common Questions and Answers about Frequent urination enlarged prostate
frequent-urination
Right. here goes nothing...I've had problems of frequent urination for over a year now. I have been tested for infection, STI's, had an ultrasound scan and have just returned home after a cystoscopy.
It all started after a urine infection that was treated with antibiotics, a few months later I had a kidney infection that was again treated with antibiotics.
I dont get frequent urination all of the time, some days are completely normal but others i need to go every 5 mins.
I have been suferring from frequent unrination for a number of weeks now ( due to see nurologist shortly)- my question is my symptoms seem to get worse evry two-three weeks ( very weak stream - more frequent urination - slight discomfort in the supra pubic /bladder region ) - then seems to be ok / not so bad ( better stream - less frequent urination - bladder emptying ik - no discomfort etc. ) What could this indicate - prostitias or some sort of infrectio .
I have been having issues with bladder retention, hard to start urination, frequent urge, split urination stream, weak stream, frequent stops during urination, scrotum pain, pelvic pain, left arm and hand numbness lasting several minutes several times suring the day, dizziness after kneeling or bending over for short periods of time, occassional blurred vision. My urologist is repeating one last test, but he says everything is pointing to a neurological problem.
Hello,
You are right in guessing that it can be prostate problem. The symptoms that you are having i.e. frequent urinating, pain in abdomen and at the tip of penis and painful ejaculations can be due to prostatitis. I fell that you should consult a urologist and get urine and semen test, cystoscopy and urodynamic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on confirmation of diagnosis.
Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
In general, the decision to initiate medication for the enlarged prostate (BPH) is guided by the severity of their symptoms consistent with an enlarged prostate such as frequent urination, difficulty initiating urination, weak stream, and frequent nighttime urination. Often these are evaluated by a patient’s response to a standardized set of questions that help to establish a threshold of symptoms that warrant treatment with medication.
i had ultrasound of prostate done twice at 3 months interval, both time showed mildly enlarged prostate. I had frequent urination, every two to three hours at night, I was asked to take finasteride 5mg every day. which i did for about a month, however, this resulted in erectile dysfunction, so i stopped taking finasteride, after which the ED has gone.
can u suggest other medication for mildly enlarged prostate.
Don't know a lot about this procedure, which is usually done to alleviate problems w/ urination due to enlarged prostate, but here's what I found about it (an excerpt describing possible issues after the procedure):
You might notice:
Blood in your urine. This shouldn't last for more than a few days.
Irritating urinary symptoms. You might feel an urgent or frequent need to urinate, or you might have to get up more often during the night to urinate.
However, normal can be relative and BPH is typically not treated until symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty initiating urination, weak stream, and frequent nighttime urination occur.
Typically the severity of symptoms is evaluated by a patient’s response to a standardized set of questions that help to establish a threshold of symptoms that warrant treatment with medication.
Further, non-STD urinary tract infections (UTI) are very frequent at that age and in the presence of an enlarged prostate. Finally, urethral STDs almost always cause discharge; painful or urgent urination, without discharge, usually indicates UTI, not an STD.
For those reasons, it is much more likely that your symptoms were due to a non-STD UTI, or directly to your prostate gland, than to anything you caught during the sexual exposure a few weeks earlier.
I am a 22 years old male from india. I am suffering from frequent (day time) urination (around 12 times in daytime only, don't wake up from sleep to urinate ) for the last 6 years. I generally have to urinate in small amounts,I feel that I am emptying my bladder everytime . My urine flow also is normal, I take little time to start urinating as the amount of urine is not much. there is no urinary leakage , i feel my pelvic floor muscles are strong enough.
I am 30 yr old male . I have frequent urination since 2 months. KUB, urine analysis, urine culture and diabtic tests have been done. No infections were found. I had white discharge thrice in this two months. And burning sensation after ejaculation. The problem gets worst once ejaculated.some times urine passes as two streams. One with thinnner stream and other as a drops.(not always this stream).
Hello,
Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but urge of frequent urination can be due to increased intake of fluids or diabetes mellitus.Other possibilities are glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection,hypercalcemia,hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism,hyperparathyroidism,diuretic drugs and benign hyperplasia of the prostate(in elderly males).
Then 2 days after unprotected vaginal sex, had what felt like acute prostatitis - frequent urination, trouble finishing urination and I felt like garbage for one day about 10 days after the sex. I have tried a couple antibtocis (Keflex and Bactim) and issue persist. A week in I took a chlamydia/gonorrhea test and was negative.. but I urinated 15 minutes before it (didnt realize not supposed to do that).
Hi-
Little background, I had a fear that I contracted some STD for french kissing a stranger,so went to see family practicioner doctor , we did go through the entire STD panel blood test and all results came back as negative.
He tested my urine too and found normal, then he suggested me CIPRO 500mg for 2times for 6 day, even then frequent of urination didn't stop then, he advised me to take Doxycycline 100 mg for 2times for 7 days.
I have frequent urination (every hr) and burning urethra (sometimes when I am dehydrated) for 4 months now.I have gone thru 20 days of levo,20 days of cipro,1.5gm of azithromycin and finally Cystoscopy 5 weeks back.
The result in cystoscopy said mild chronic cystitis.I have been taken vesicare and xatral for 40 days now.I went to see the urologist again and he said he cannot pinpoint what is the root cause yet and it should clear on its own in 1-2 months.
The typical symptoms of prostatitis are fever, pelvic, testicle, or rectal pain, frequent and painful urination and ejaculation and incomplete emptying of bladder. So it is very difficult to say whether you are having prostatitis or not.
However for prostatitis the first line of treatment is by antibiotics and in some cases, a course of antibiotics may last two to three months. Hence you should follow up with your urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
