I am wondering if anyone has this problem. I am able to urinate on my own however it is very difficult for me to go when sitting in my chair especially if i have alcohol. I have tried everything from taping on my bladder, elevating my legs and using condom caths. I feel like theres to much pressure on my bladder or something restricting it. the minute i lay down i am able to go but if i wait to long or drink to much i cant urinate and have to be cathetered. I know i am lucky to have bladder function but this really gets in the way from going away from home for an extended period of time.
I am on flomax and bladder spasm meds i also just had my blood work done and my psa is 3.3 which i been told is high for my age. I am making an appt to see a urologist but am hoping someone here my have some helpful insight to this issue im having.
