Thread: Slow urine flow

caterpiller79, for the past two months or so i have been experiencing the same difficulty & discomfort you mentioned when trying to urinate: difficulty beginning a stream, light flow and it feels like i am not emptying my bladder fully each time i use the restroom. although i am sorry you had to go through such pain and all the testing, etc. it is comforting to know there will be relief in my future! i saw my doctor last friday and told him about my symptoms. he did a urinalysis and from that discovered microscopic hematoma, but the culture was inconclusive (either from not recieveing a clean catch or from an overabundance of bacteria -- regardless he was unable to pinpoint exactly what microorganism was causing me such trouble). he then sent me back for a follow up urinalysis: still containing blood & yet another inconclusive result. i had considered the possibility of stones, but he decided to put me on an antibiotic for a UTI (bactrum) and told me if the symptoms did no subside following treatment to make yet ANOTHER appointment. i also have endometriosis which was treated by lap in september, but since have been expereincing the same symptoms prior to my procedure, so i am not sure if that could be the cause of my pain while uriniating... i have an ob/gyn appt. in january to rule this out. i have never had a kidney stone so i do not know what they feel like & i am no one to self - diagnose so i am praying for relief in the near future.

Did you go to the urologist yet? I have the same problem. Can you let me know what he/she says? I am just curious. I am having a hysterectomy soon and will be seeing a urologist myself after the surgery.

You didn't read my last post. I had bladder stones, after they removed them I'm ok. Everything is back to normal.

Chaya,

Welcome back! We missed you. It's good to know you've recovered.
