I Have Been Having Problems With Urinating Over The Past Month
Question: Hello,
I have been having problems with urinating over the past month and would like to speak to a Urologist.
I am experiencing burning, the flow feels stuck and and I am having difficulty sleeping now.
I went to the hospital last week and my blood work and urine sample came back good.
I fear there is something wrong with my prostate.

Hello
Thanks for your query .
Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have been facing problems related to urination like burning, difficulty in passing urine since one month .
I shall be happy if you can post me more details to help me in making precise comments
1) Have you done Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen to assess the size of Prostate ? if so please upload the report .
2) What is the level of Serum PSA (If done ) ?
3) Have you done Uroflowmetry to assess urine flow ?
4) Do you have pain in perineal region or lower abdomen?

Hello Dr. P.T. XXXXXXX
All the information I have now is that I received a prostate exam and my prostate is enlarged. I was given CIPROFLOXACIN XL, 500mg twice a day and am feeling worse. I am on my third pill and am starting to feel very bad side effects like tingling and numbness in my left hand. Honestly it it making me feel worse. I have read horror stories about this drug and am wondering if there is a better alternative? I was using coloidal silver and was feeling much better.
Thank you.
