What might cause this? htmASKTHEDOCurinatingdripstinging What you’re experiencing is a very common complaint. As we age, several things happen. One is some enlargement of the prostate gland. As the gland increases in size, the bladder (which stores urine) has to exert more pressure to get rid of the last drops of urine. When that happens, some of that pressure gets placed on the part of the bladder called the bladder neck. 1463870 InteliHealth 2012-12-03 t Marc Garnick, M.D. 2015-12-03

His doctors say there’s a magic number at which surgery is done, but I’m questioning why they can’t do something sooner. My husband is generally in good health, so he shouldn’t be a poor candidate for surgery. | My daughter has schizophrenia. The psychiatrist at her mental health center prescribed an antipsychotic drug. I know some of these drugs increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. What sort of clinical monitoring do you advise? | I’ve tried to quit smoking three times. A friend suggested that instead of giving cigarettes up all at once that I try to kick the habit gradually. Which method is best? | I am a 62-year-old male. For the past two years, I get up to urinate about three times a night. My doctor says my prostate gland is not enlarged? What could be wrong? | I have been treated for genital warts around my cervix. What is the type of condom to use to protect my partner – a female condom or a regular condom? | My husband is getting severe back spasms in his lower back, possibly as a result of twisting wrong while doing sit-ups. He is getting no relief from ibuprofen. Is there an over-the-counter alternative? | I am a 52-year-old man. When I finish urinating, I drip much more then I used to. And I have a stinging sensation in my urethra. I have had the same partner for 32 years so I don’t think it’s a sexually transmitted disease (STD). What might cause this? | Does exercise help you keep your memory? | I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness. What could this be? Are there any home remedies? |
