How To Treat Difficulty While Passing Urine?

I had surgery in May (spinal anesthetic) and my ability to urinate was impacted. I ve been on FlowMax since shortly before hospital release and have had little if any improvement. I started a ginger/lemon tea (just because I like it...no other motivation) a couple of days ago and have seen some modest urinary function improvement. Waiting on a bladder scope. Prostate seems small and healthy (waiting on psa results). Have met with my GP to explore other potential avenues. Suggestions?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
It would have been good to know your age, as well as,if you're on any other medication.Ginger or lemon tea isn't known to improve urinary flow.
Much before bladder scopy is done, several other tests are available to diagnose and treat, prostate enlargement.Tests that are routinely done by a Urologist are,clinical examination of the prostate gland, urine flow rate, urine routine and culture test, blood urea, s.creatinine, PSA, and an ultrasound scan of the prostate gland and KUB. After the reports are available , he'll be able to give you proper advice. There are several drugs available to treat prostate gland enlargement.
