Question: I have two Issues , have seen a Board certified Urologist for the last 5-6 years, I am 69 years old ( ALL the tests prescribed by the Urologist came out normal, that is voiding etc. Do take 8 mg of Rapaflo based on Urologist's recommendation, does help a bit need to get 1-2 times at night vs., 3-4 without medication.
Issue 1 : Frequency of urination, every 1-2 hours. takes long time to empty bladder 1-2 minutes. not a continuous flow , dribbles have to exercise certain muscles for urine to come out.
Issue 2: Surprisingly, especially at night, I produce urine even if I do not drink any fluids, in between discharge and have to empty every 2 hours or less.
