The aging process brings health issues that occur in bodies that were never issues before. I’m reminded of this fact every morning. Both men and women have problems that occur specifically because of age. For men, a real problem that can be seriously dangerous is involves the prostate gland.

The prostate gland is a part of the male reproductive organ. Located at the bottom of the bladder, the prostate is close to the size of a walnut. The urethra, a thin tube that runs through this gland, allows for the passing of urine from the penis.

So often when I go to the bathroom I feel like I get 80% out but cant get the rest out. If I “push and release” it may come out slowly, but that is a hassle. I’ve put up with this for a while, and sometimes I think it is my imagination but I really doubt that. Often I go to the bathroom, then go wash my hands, then I go back to the toilet and I can get more urine out. WTF? Is that normal?

What could be a cause of this? I’m 18 and healthy as far as I know. I had a blood test even and BUN was normal, as was blood sugar. I’m too young for Benevolent enlarged prostate.

Im currently dealing with urinary problems… Pain when I urinate as well as middle to lower back pain that can worsen if stretch or move a certain way. Kind of like a soft kidney punch. One would assume this is kidney related… I have already had the blood test, urine test, NO std’s or bacteria infection showed up. Blood work was fine or so they said..
Have been checked for enlarged prostate, seemed fine. Also had the uncomfortable Cystoscopy done.. No fun… Everything looked ok. Now, not sure where to go next…I know that when i go I have alot of hesitancy and some burning….. Anyone have any suggestions>
Details are as follows, I drink cranberry juice, its not stones to there knowledge, and age is 34.

I am a 37-year-old male, 190 lbs. I have been to two urologists with different diagnosis. I have had trouble starting my urinary stream for as long as I can remember. The stream remains weak during urination and as a result I have a phobia about urinating with others nearby. There is never any pain or blood during urination. I also get up 1-2 times a night to urinate. There is no family history of prostate cancer in my family. I went to a doctor April 2008 because of increased strain while trying to urinate after I get up at night. I do go frequently during the day…especially after the first urination.

The first doctor said that I suffer from BPH due to an enlarged prostate. He performed a cystoscopy…urodynamics and a prostate ultrasound. Nothing significant was found during the cystoscopy. The prostate ultrasound came back with 29 cc or grams…not sure which unit of measurement is correct there. The urinalysis findings led my first doctor to believe that I may have MS possibly resulting in detrusor sphincter dysynergia (DSD). MRI scans of my brain and spinal cord came back negative for MS. The MRI for the cervical spine did find a right posterolateral C5-6 disk herniation that mildly contacts and flattens the ventral cord extending to the proximal right C5-6 foramen. I was on flomax/avodart for 7 months with no change in urinary habits. His recommendation is for a procedure…TUMT/TUIP or TURP.

A bladder infection can affect women, men and even children. UTI’s are usually caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses or some species of parasites. These bacteria and parasites find their way into the urethra, multiply, then cause an infection which can give you many uncomfortable symptoms.

A bladder infection could sometimes lead to dehydration and hospitalisation if your infection isn’t caught and treated in the quickest amount of time. Some adults can misdiagnose a bladder infection thinking it is a vaginal yeast infection, and will start trying to cure themselves with an OTC yeast infection cream.

Improper cleaning habits and inadequate diet has lead to rapid increase in the rate of urinary infections. Either it’s men, women or children; they get inflicted with the disease once in their lifetime. Women get inflicted due to shorter urethra while men suffer due to enlarged prostate. Moreover, the disease reoccurs after some time and weakens the immune system of the urinary tract.

The urinary infections are treated through antibacterial drugs. Trimpex, amoxicilin, ampicilin and trimethoprim are popular medicines used for the purpose. The medical treatment for the disease depends upon the type of bacterium and medical conditions of the patient. The doctors consider factors like allergies, diabetes etc while subscribing a medicine to the patients.
