Today's urologist apt was a quickie.....
HI...
Try a pill...
Come back in 3 weeks....
My PSA (BPH) test was lower/better but still high.
I asked him WHY I was having voiding issues now, despite my PSA being down. He had not a clue. He is fully aware of my Diabetes, MS and kidney disease, all of which could possibility impact or be impacted by my voiding issues. He only was interested in my PSA and if I had to get up during the night, which I don't.
MY BP was up a little, just above my limit (set by other doc) and I noted that was highly variable, as well as my voiding issues. NO response.
My fears turned (what me might advise/Rx) out to be totally unfounded, he was not concerned at all. Maybe I am wrong, but I got the feeling he could care less about any voiding issues, unless I end up in ER totally unable to void. Any and everything was brushed off as just probably age related, and nothing worth bothering with.
My fam doc is the one who ordered I see the urologist, gave a specific reason, rising creatine, but he was not even interested in that. My urine test showed glucose (I am diabetic), urobiliruben (abnormal) and borderline qty of red blood cells, etc but since I am not getting visible blood in my urine, that was also a non-issue, protein (abnormal), previous check showed none.
The last time I tied a pill, all it did was cause me to loose control, I would wet my pants and not even know it, till someone else (one of my boys) noticed it, very embarrassing. If this new pill helps, great, if not, I was rather unimpressed by his so-so attitude.
I am confused, I do not know whether to be glad or sad?
