The thickened bladder came as unavoidable result of BHP and I assume it is irreversible, it then should lead to increased frequency of urination. I understand that one way to do it is to have early surgery to reduce the size of prostate but it has risks. So, it would be nice to take preventive action to avoid such problem. Are there ways to avoid the problem?

More than half of all men will eventually develop BPH (not BHP).  If you know that your thickened bladder was the result of BPH, you could only know that if your doctor had discovered that fact and told you about it.  He or she would have immediately followed that information with an explanation of what BPH is and of the various treatment options if and when they become advisable.\n\nThere are several reliable medications that can help, but they are only available by prescription.  Herbalists will tell you that such things as saw palmetto are satisfactory substitutes for the prescription drugs, but that simply isn't so.  Careful studies have attempted to prove that saw palmetto and other herbal remedies are effective, and there's simply no evidence that they are.\n\nSo see your doctor again and have him/her go over the probable complications of untreated BPH as well as the varied options for treatment.  Surgery may not be necessary, or it may eventually become advisable.  Only you and your doctor can decide that issue.  Good luck.

Yes he could. He should consult a urologist which is a Doctor who specializes in problems of urinary and reproductive system.  Worst case, he finds out what he's got and gets it cured.  Best case, he's needs to drink less beer and mor water but there's nothing wrong.

Hello,\n  I also have bladder incontinence after falling from a roof a few years ago and damaging my spinal cord and the nerves from my bladder. I was told by my urologist that the muscles control better during intercourse and have found that to be true. When I was sexually active with my girlfriend we always put a towel on the bed anyway just in case but I never had any problem. I do wonder if the fact I must use a diaper style is the reason she won't be active with me anymore though. She keeps telling me it is because of her mostly raising her grandson now, but I get pretty depressed about it allot, 10 months is a long time to me.\nJack

Men can get over active bladders too, or even kidney or urinary infection that would cause you to have to go real bad and very frequently. It has nothing to do with puberty. Keep in mind, if this is just a rare occurence then it is perfectly normal. However, if this is happening all the time then you need to see a doctor for treatment.

Showering after sex should not have anything to do with preventing a UTI.  It's the not urinating after sex that can contribute to that.  But, I do understand that many recommend staying laying down when TTC.  So, right before you have sex, make sure you have emptied your bladder.  Avoid rough sex.  Try using a lubricant like KY.  Make sure you shower BEFORE sex and that your butt is scrupulously clean.  Always wipe from front to back (and using wipes after a bowel movement is an excellent habit to get into).  Avoid wearing thong underwear.  Never put anything near the vagina that has been near the anus.  Get cranberry pills from a health food store or online and take them every day.  Most UTI's are caused by bacteria from the anal area getting into the urinary tract.  Some people have honeymoon cystitis which is from having a lot of sex or rough sex that irritates the urethra and can make it more suseptible to infection.  But MOST UTI's can be prevented with scrupulous hygiene.  If you have had frequent UTI's in the past, you may feel like you are having another one, but it can be bladder spasms caused by previous insult to the bladder.  Sex can aggrevate and bring on those spasms.  The next time you think you have gotten a UTI from sex, have your urine tested by your doc (or they do have OTC tests now) to see if indeed it is a UTI.  There are medications for bladder spasms, but they have side effects and should probably not be taken if you may be pregnant anyway.  Good luck!!

If you are sitting down or even laying down, try flexing the muscle that you use when you stop your urine flow. This will make your pelvic muscles stronger.

It is true. Bladders DO come in a staggering range of capacities and genetic predisposition probably plays a good part of it. Having a "mega-bladder" has it's positives and its drawbacks. Like your girlfriend, I seldom if ever have to relieve myself except in the morning, but occasionally it can be a downright embarrassment if I have to use a restroom and an audience of women are witness to my 4 to 6+ minute waterfall.  I have heard everything from "are you hollow" to "go see a doctor" which I did as a teen. 1500ml is very large but not extraordinary; my own bladder holds over 2 liters without difficulty.\n\nIf you want to read more on so-called mega-bladders, see a condition known as "Lazy bladder." And go easy on your girlfriend- that long of a pee is normal for her.

Stop doing X.  Your gonna blow out your bladder and have to carry around a catheter for the rest of your life.

I had this problem for several years.  It started - in retrospect - about the time BGH was being used to increase milk production in cows.  Stay with me here....\nI try to find environmental reasons for health issues so after some research I tried staying away from dairy for a week.  It worked.  Now I only buy organic BGH free milk and don't seem to have a problem. \n\nOften our bodies react to a wide variety of toxins by trying to expel then through urination, sweating, and so forth.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!\n\nIt could also be a 'tipped' uterus pressing on the bladder. But that isn't as common

You got that diagnosis by searching the Net or via a qualified urologist? If it really is detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, what this means is that your detrusor muscles (which contract and relax to allow urination) is not working together all at the same time. \n\nAlpha blockers are mainly to relax the smooth muscles of the sphincter and those surrounding the prostate. If this does not work for you, perhaps surgery is the next best thing.\n\nDo consult a qualified urologist to help you in your problem.\n\nHope this helps :)

hmmm, that is a difficult question. I would suggest seeing your primary doctor or a urologist. I know it is embarrassing but it could be something major

I would not worry about reverse ejaculation..if by that you mean ejaculating into your bladder...no big deal unless you want children. But, diabetic induced ED is a very real problem, and there is a CURE! I do NOT advise and implant ... only as a last recourse, period...these are not as satisfactory as it would sound, even the fancy pump type will render a seriously smaller penis when erect. At this time, they cannot give you the same size as you had before, for fear of the implant ripping through the head during intercourse! But, take heart...there are chemicals out there that really do the trick...so much so you will become superman IF it works. \nThe chemicals (a trivalent compound that must be injected directly into the penis...not as painful as it sounds) produces an erection within 20 minutes that can last as long as 4 hours or more...this is not what you are aiming for...erections that are strong, last about 1 hour is a good goal...use a diabetic syringe, and injected directly into the corpus caveranosa...this compound causes the valves to close and the penis to become downright HARD...super dick, so to speak. This compound is used by the porn stars, etc...for what ever reasons. But it is extremely effective in most men..not all, but most. See your urologist and ask for a prescription OR go to Boston Clinic..(Expensive, but worth the money if you cannot get it up). You will find it cheaper through your urologist. IF you need, I can forward the name of the compound to you via email. What you are experiencing is a real bummer, destroys much confidence, etc. WARNING! If you use this stuff, there will be an inclination to prove to the world how super you are...trust that you have not changed one iota, are chemically dependent, and keep it under wraps. Do not let this stuff "go to your head" and start prowling the streets to prove just what  a fantastic lover you are...you are no more, no less that you are today, just a normally functioning version. All this assumes that you are NOT a candidate for Viagra or Cialis. Both these drugs present nasty side effects. Good luck

Your bladder is like spouses and children. It is activated by a button on your a*s. As long as you are standing around doing nothing, you are safe from disruptions. Sit down and, well, you push the button! It can also activate the phone, door bell and In-Laws. You can't fight it man. All you can do is try to ignore it but that will only last a short time. Sorry dude, welcome to life on planet Earth!  lol

*** If you still have bladder controll (not sure how high up your spinal injury is), I would recommend straight-cathing... you dont leave them in so you have a lower risk of getting an infection
