It’s not always Cancer. Most guys (85%) have an enlarged Prostate. This cuts off the urine flow. It develops into a major problem if unattended. It is simple to fix. A small operation was all I needed. But do it NOW. Don’t wait like I did, it is stupid. |

I thought I was bullet proof, like most males do. Nothing unusual about that. I used all sorts of herbs, many you can buy in the chemist shop. They gave me relief I could urinate fully again. Great, I am cured! , but in a short time , like 3 months the problem creeps up on you again. I then switched to a different product, or doubled the product I was taking. That works for a while ( I will cure it myself) It did not work. My Doctor told my very quietly, “ if you cannot pee, go straight to emergency and book your self in immediately” I took this on board. But did nothing about it. Bad mistake. Do not let this happen to you. Finally I could not pee one morning, I booked myself into the tweed emergency and then the problems started. I cathedra could not be inserted by the nurse. Call the head nurse, same trouble. finally after lots of drama , the chief surgeon was called. The Nursing staff were told to get me cleaned up and put me in a special room and wait . The chief surgeon arrived with what looked like a piece of copper tube. He proceeded to bend the tube into a C shape, looking at it every now and again to check his handy work. Finally he said “ That looks about right” then he said “ this may have a bit of pain, but the alternative is we have to go in through there, pointing to my lower belly” There was a bit of pain in the procedure , in fact a lot but a hell of a lot less than not being able to Urinate. Finally he broke through my prostate unto the bladder, Oh the relief , there was blood & urine all over the special room they had put me in. But at least my bladder did not Burst. So the moral of the story is “ don't be bloody stupid , go to your doctor and have the operation”. “There was really no pain, it took about two days in hospital, After the operation when I needed to Pee, it was like turning on the hose, The restriction totally gone made all the difference. Today; I can say to you, that the best thing is to have the operation, get it over and done with. For me It was 100% success full . Talk to your UROLOGIST NOW. Look after your health ; Ross PS; Come to one of our meetings and learn what others have been through.
