What other conditions could be causing my symptoms of difficulty starting to pee, a weak flow, and a urine stream that stops and starts, and what other tests might I need, since my 20-day treatment with Urimax and Urotone for a weak bladder has only shown a 30% to 40% improvement and my post-urination ultrasound is normal?

Asked by Male, 57 · 16 days ago

Since your treatment with tamsulosin (Urimax) and bethanechol (Urotone) has only brought partial relief, other possibilities should be explored. At 57, symptoms like a hesitating or weak stream could point to benign prostate enlargement compressing the urethra, a urethral stricture, or pelvic muscle tension. Since your post-void ultrasound is normal, helpful next steps include a uroflowmetry test to measure your urine flow rate, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, or a cystoscopy to visualize the pathway. Please share these findings with your urologist to safely adjust your care plan.
