Hi Dr Eric

[@irvinenkazi6780]

I have problem if I'm going toilet just my urine is going slowly

[@jcolumbiap]

Sounds like you are person that has a good education on this!

[@BestEachDay]

All great advice, and recommended. As a 60-year-old, however, I am going to make an observation I cannot resist... Remember the fat red haired computer simulator guy in the movie "Titanic"? Remember how he explained how the Titanic sank while the old woman watched the video animation? Remember what she said afterward? She said that the actual experience was "somewhat different." Well, getting old and dealing with an aging body is not exactly cut and dried all the time. You have to be there to fully appreciate it. This advice is excellent and accurate. But just remember that nothing in this life is perfect, and you cannot make the human body work like it's perfectly young again when it's not. It will improve things, maybe even significantly. But then things will change again. Be prepared for that.

My prostate is fine, but my urologist has me doing intermittent cathering 3 times a day to help re-train my bladder. I urinate only about 125cc's but then void about 400-500cc's with the catheter. Urologist suspects neurological problem so I had MRI done. Neurologist said no issues with spinal issues so doctors are still at a loss why I have urinary retention and call what I have an atonic / flaccid bladder. I'm now starting PT.

I get reasonably good flow most of the day. But I have serious problems early morning. Just in case you're wondering, I usually don't have an erection at this time. It always feels like I'm holding back, but totally unable to let go. I did have a procedure done to widen the path through my prostate, which did improve flow during the rest of the day, but early morning is still a huge problem. I am 78 and I had this problem for about 3 or 4 years now. My doctor says he does not know what the cause could be. I hope you can help. Many thanks.

[@markgooch1715]

@Dr. Eric Lecki - why didn’t you address pelvic floor dysfunction as a root cause? Also, telling people to do Kegel squeezes if they already have a tight or hypertonic pelvic floor is not good advice as it can make things worse. What can you share about your knowledge of CPPS and/or Pelvic Dysfunction in men? That would be helpful

[@DrEricLeckie]

It’s a good point Mark. The intent behind that video was to keep it as concise as possible for the most common age related changes impacting your flow. I’m making an upcoming video entirely on hypertonicity in the pelvic floor muscles and CPPS.

[@markgooch1715]

@@DrEricLeckie awesome! The first video is helpful and what I’ve seen in my own research (and personal experience after number doctor/urologist visits) is many man have these issues due to pelvic floor and not prostate enlargement. Often, the root cause of the pelvic floor dysfunction is stress and anxiety. For some reason western medicine has not had a big focus on the impact that has on cpps/pelvic floor and men end up on meds that don’t address root cause. We can do better. I look forward to your next video and thanks for replying

I had wondered about the statement. I was in for my annual exam. He was trying to get me to go on some sort of meds and said that I would probably end up using a catheter once my bladder wore out. He said they only had so many squeezes. That was after I declined the meds. I was surprised that he only checked my PSA and didn’t digitally check my prostate as I’ve always had happen.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Hey! Look if you're having difficulty starting your stream, trouble fully emptying, or if you notice your stream isn't as strong as it once was there's a good chance your prostate is the culprit. Go to your GP and get a check up

[@SuperAce3333]

My urologist who is the head of his department at a large hospital has told me alcohol has no affect on the prostate now I’m confused 🤔

[@DrEricLeckie]

Alcohol affects your bladder, not your prostate. Alcohol irritates your bladder and acts as a diuretic making your urinary issues worse. Hope this clears it up for you

[@angelakoroma7935]

I am a female and my unrne is slow I am 60+ plse help

[@DrEricLeckie]

Hey there Angela, thanks for the comment. You might be experiencing what’s called “Voiding Dysfunction” which is typically caused by having a tense pelvic floor where the muscles don’t relax allowing you to have a faster stream. Next time you go to urinate, try a set of 10 deep breaths trying to relax your abdomen and pelvic floor first, and then urinate. Give this a try for a few days and if it doesn’t improve it would be worth booking in with a pelvic floor physiotherapist for an in-person consult.
