Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
An expert opinion can be given, after you reveal some essential details.
1. What was the back surgery done ? Do you mean spinal surgery.
2. Did you have a catheter after surgery. From 9.3.15. to 9.4.15, how was the difficulty in passing urine treated.
At your age, a prostate gland enlargement, causing urine flow obstruction, is very likely. You will need to do certain tests to know the cause for your symptoms.
1. urine routine and culture, and urine flow rate test.
2. blood creatinine, sugar, PSA, and ultrasound scan of abdomen.
In the meantime, you may start Tamsulosin at bedtime.
You can contact me with the reports.
wish you well.
