Re: Enlarged Prostate - mens health issue.
Just had the same thing happen to me, maybe 2-3 mos ago, all the sudden couldnt pee, went to ER, they put in catheter for 5 days and started me on antibiotics - immed relief from catheter, 550 mg in there. After a few days of hell in guts w/ antibiotics, they said i could stop takin them, AND pulled out my own catheter while on phone w/ doc - wow that was unusual, stung maybe just a bit but not bad. 15 mins later peeing like a tall horse on a flat rock. My prostate i think was enlarged, but takin 2 mg terazosin(one tab) at night, zero issues since, the uroligist says a prostatits attack, had my wonderful small fingered Chinese, cool lady doc do the figer test last week, all fine, didnt hurt and 10 seconds - ALL guys 40-50's should do this once a year if your doc says so, was funny, I mentioned to her after, "I really dislike this test" and she quietly remarked "you're supposed to", LMAO! I also at same time had an internal hemmroid (not fun and scary, until docs explained to me), not serious - but just am getting over again - had a complete kidney, bladder etc ultrasound yesterday cuz I've never had that test, doc said "why not, you've never had one" so we'll see what's next , I beleive the antibiotics kicked off a few issues, have had bad reactions to them forever, takes weeks w/ probiotic tabs and good yogurt to get back to normal. Sucks gettin old!!! (I'm 47). I've also had IBS kinda forever (15 yrs) so we'll see what can help me out with all, buttttt do what your doc says ASAP! Keep us posted, I guess quite a few of us have these types of issues. Oh i also did urinalysis, no blood in it( a good thing) but some bacteria - maybe a UTI (urinary track infection from catheter??) Good Luck!! Heinz
