Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
.Starting last week hard to urinate when there is a great need to so I can only go drib and drabs and the bladder pain starts to build up again usually in 15 to 20minutes and the whole process starts over again last week one it really burned when I peed and I started peeing blood it stopped in a few hours It seems like a blockage I am 70 years old
It can be a urethral stricture and bladder calculi. Ultrasound KUB may be taken and urethral discharge maybe tested. Urine analysis may be done to exclude UTI. If signs of UTI are there, then urine culture and sensitivity may be done. Drink more water and take alcasol syrup. Consult a urologist for examination and advise on treatment. Exclude php of prostate and you can take ultrasound prostate and other test to see urine excretion properly. Flowmetry PSA can be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
