Well. I am wearing diapers because I am tired of running to the bathroom every 20 minutes.
I had a Dr. Appt yesterday and the PA gave me another round of Cipro and a new med to help "smooth out the smooth muscles in the prostate".
Little back story I had a bad infection in the Epimethius in 1995 so they put me on a real strong antibiotic. About three months after that I started having frequency issues. Being 33 there was no doubt to the Doctors that because of my weight I had Diabetes. So they gave my a UA and tested my blood sugar. All was clear so I just "need to lose weight and exercise more". This went on for 3 years. Two of my doctors left private practice and the third one looked into a few other things but still stressed the lose weight and exercise more, until I finally went totally incontinent. Then I was sent to a Urologist and the in office UA was clear as rain. After a major prostate exam (I was ready to give him my pin numbers and credit cards just to get him to stop the exam) it turned out I had a very nasty opportunistic background bacterial infection of the prostate. He put me on a strong antibiotic and cleaned up the infection but warned me that I will have issues for the rest of my life.
So about every 9 to18 months I have to do a round of Cipro to clean up the leaking frequency issues . So last October I had my annual Cipro round.
During the last couple of weeks I stared in with the frequency again. Little concerned, but it is hard to judge because of the elevated water intake for my weight life style change. Then Last weekend I took a day trip to the Oregon coast and the usual 1 1/2 hour trip I had to stop every 30 minutes to go to the bathroom and twice almost did not make it, dripping like a broken faucet.
So I messaged my Doctor and two days later was in for a UA and Phone call. Then it was decided they need to physically check the prostate to make sure. Nothing palpated but the only difference was I am never comfortable when they do it, but this time It was like he put a hot poker up my urethra. So now I am on a waiting list to see the Urologist.
I have gotten so tired of running to the bathroom every 20 minutes that I am not doing little mode, but wearing for health issues. I am using up a bunch of cheap diapers I had gotten over the years and then will be doing cloth after that, so I see a lot of laundry in my future.
Thank you for reading my story. I just needed to type this to help accept my situation.
