Brief Answer: Bladder Outelet Obstruction due to Fibros Prostate Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have difficulty in passing urine with poor flow as revealed on Uroflowmetry study. Though your ultrasound scanning is reported to have grade 1 enlarged prostate you have symptoms like poor flow of urine (only 6ml per second) ,difficulty in passing urine,significant post void urine residue(62 cc ) ,prolonged voiding time etc.All these symptoms are suggestive of Bladder Outflow Obstruction due to fibrous prostate. Please consult qualified urologist for clinical assessment who may carry out endoscopic examination of bladder (Cystoscopy) to confirm the diagnosis. I think you need endoscopic incision of bladder neck (BNI) to remove the obstruction to improve your urine flow. Discuss with your Psychiatrist about the side effects of the drugs that you are taking for anxiety and depressive disorder.These drugs are known to have side effects like difficulty in passing urine etc. Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards.

What will be approximate charges of Cystoscopy and BNI. As I am taking low dose of anti anxiety and antidepressant medicines, Can these medicines affect my problem to such an extent.

Sir, what can be the complications if problem remained untreated and within how many days I have to get my problem treated since I have to arrange for the charges. If treated, then what the side effects can be. If I go for Cystoscopy or BNI, is there chances of getting infection in the urinary tract etc. Is there any other medicine which can be tried/effective. For the treatment , for how many days I have to remain in the hospital.

Brief Answer: It is not urgent. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for follow up. You can get operated as per your convenience within 2-3 months. After BNI you will face problem of retrograde ejaculation which is a known complication of this surgery. The chances of getting urinary infection after the surgery are minimal. You will be hospitalised for 2-3 days. You have been already taking alpha blockers for months with no satisfactory results .Hence better to get operated to improve quality of life. Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
