Weak urinary stream?
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.
I recently went to another doctor for a second opinion. The results (history/tests) from the first doctor were forwarded to the second doctor. After an oral examination, he did not feel that my prostate size was the issue. Since, I also have a history of large hemorrhoids/constipation/spastic colon and IBS; he thought there might be a correlation with that. I am an introvert and believe the source of most of my stress goes to my colon. He gave me a PSA test, which came back normal (0.5). Also, he performed a renal/bladder ultrasound. The results showed that I was not emptying completely…especially for someone of my age. After a cystoscopy with him (just last week), he said I have scar tissue in my urethra from a stricture. He thinks I may have suffered some injury as a child. He recommends that I undergo a Direct Visual Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU) to take care of the narrowing as a result of the stricture/scar tissue. He also wants to do an urodynamics test with me to see what he finds. He gave me a month’s sample of uroxatral, which did not help my stream any.
I am set to undergo an endoscopy with my Gastro doctor this upcoming week. Blood results show that I am chronic microcytic anemic due to low MCV/MCH. My hemoglobin is fine. My doctors think I have a Mediterranean gene even though I am mostly northern European. My ferritin levels are also really low and I have begun taking an iron supplement (ferrous sulfate). I underwent a stapled hemorrhoidectomy last October and already have one autoimmune disease (limited scleroderma/CREST syndrome); so he wants to rule out Celiac disease, I suppose due to possible malabsorption. I no longer have a bleeding issue with my hemorrhoids due to the surgery. Also since any effort to bulk up my stool due to increased fiber and laxatives has failed.
My biggest concern is the vast difference in opinion between both urologists in what my issue may be. Any suggestions? Are there questions I should be asking my doctors?
Thanks,
My father has cancer.is it worth chemo?
My father has colon cancer which has spread to his liver, prostate, lungs, lymphnodes and other organs. His colon is taken up by one big tumor which has now caused him to have an iliostomy and his liver is consumed with many small tumors. It is very advanced, he just turned 78...the doctors gave him 3 months to live. Is chemo worth it?? Right now we are telling him he shouldn't do it. I have taken care of 2 uncles and 2 grandfathers that had less cancer and were younger. Chemo didn't work and it only made them miserable. What do you think?

TWA Revenge who wins you decide who would win these matches?
Welcome back to TWA Revenge. They tried to write us off, but at Survivor Series The Brand Supremacy Contest turned out to be a Draw, we lost to Nitro, but beat Velocity who then beat Nitro. Also in The World Championship Match Edge retained against Big Show and Sting after pinning Sting.
Promo 1
World Champion Edge is in the ring
Edge: Expecting someone else? Well tough, it’s me Edge who is still your Champion. I slayed a giant and beat an Icon, well thats’ how you the fans refer to him as, but maybe it should be me who is your ICON.
Edge is then interrupted by Revenge GM William Kingston.
William: Shut up Edge, you may be Champion, but I am GM and I am not going to stand around here and listen to your pathetic claims and I think I speak for the fans on this one, now firstly I thought you were gonna lose and to be honest I was hoping you would so I did not have to listen to that speech you just made. Anyways about that World Title of yours, I have decided that you will defend it tonight.
Edge: What? After the Triple Threat at Survivor Series
William: Like I said, I don’t care what you think I am General Manager and what I say goes, now prepare.
Edge: Well who against
William: I’ve not decided yet

Promo 2
TWA Chairman Thurlow has come to see Revenge GM William in his Office.
Thurlow: Survivor Series was great wasn’t it
William: Sure was, and I think we proved we are not dead and Burried
Thurlow: I was impressed, but as it was a draw each Brand got a share of the prizes and as I have already said Revenge has been rewarded with 2 Draft Picks which can be picked from any TWA Brand including TWA-FCW, but only 1 from any Brand.
William: I know and I have decided, but before I pick them I just want to say that I am happy with my Roster and only picking Superstars that feel the gaps. My Main Event is jammed packed and the only thing I feel needs improving is The Light Heavyweight Division so I have decided that I want Evan Bourne from Nitro and Primo Colon from Velocity.
Thurlow: Good picks and as of next week Evan Bourne and Primo Colon will be Superstars of Revenge. Would also like to say that I am impressed with what you have done and by stamping down your authority and what you’re doing with Edge is great, showing that not even The Champion can run is mouth off, shame all my GM’s can’t be like this.
Match 3
Rob Van Dam Vs Sting

Todd Grisham is backstage
Todd: With me now is The Big Show, now Big Show things did not go your way at Survivor Series, what are your plans for the future
Big Show: The same as they were before, I will get what is mine and Edge going to regret crossing me last week and at Survivor Series. I am The Largest Athlete in the world with the Largest Right Hook and next time I connect with it onto Edge there will not be anyone around to help him out.
Todd: So, is it you who will be facing Edge tonight for The World Championship?
Show: Well, William has not confirmed it, but there is no one else on the roster worth putting in the Match.
Todd: Well I hate to break it to you Big Show, but our GM actually sent me to speak to about that and to tell that you are in action tonight and next and you will be facing Bobby Lashley.
Show: What?
Todd: Sorry, don’t shoot the messenger and good luck on your match.
