Dear readers.
My father had surgery (turp) about 10years ago to remove a cyst which was causing obstruction in urethra pathway. Prior to the surgery my father was urinating at night two to three times. He was finding that his bladder would not empty completely. However following the surgery his symptoms still continued. Several years later he decided to have some scar tissues removed left by the initial surgery. Following this surgery his bladder tends to stop working. He presently using a catheter to discharge urine from the bladder. The urologist has performed a cystoscopy with no problems discovered. But every time the doctor decides to remove the catheter he is able to urinate a little at a time but when the night rolls in his bladder stops working forcing him to check into the emergency room to have a catheter reinserted. The doctors say that since my father is generally a nervous person he is too tense which is preventing him from urinating. No damage to the muscles or nerves were discovered. He has had a video urodynamics done which showed a perfectly operating bladder. My father is a type ii diabetic. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
