I was a childhood bed wetter and outgrew that in my late teens. I had several accidents for a while, but no biggy. But by the time I turned 30 years old, I started wetting the bed again and had to use the restroom more often than others as my co-workers noticed.
Over time, I started wearing a diaper at night, and also developed daytime urgency. After a few daytime accidents, I decided to wear a diaper during the day. This would come and go, and my wife eventually made me an appointment with my doctor to talk about my problem.
I went for several blood test and urinalysis, and everything seems OK. I went for a Bladder Scan, (had to drink 5 cups of water before the test, I thought I would burst. It even felt like my kidneys were hurting, it took everything I had not to pee. Even felt nauseated for a while) so they did a scan of the bladder, I went for a pee (thank you God) and they Scanned the bladder again.
A normal size prostate is I believe 30cc. Mine is about 39cc's. So not much larger than what it's supposed to be, right? My post void residual is 89ml; also within guidelines. I'm being treated for BPH, but I still have the urgency, and sometimes my bladder releases without thought. So I now wear a diaper 24/7. I continue taking the med's, but my question is this.
Everything I've read to date would suggest that I take the medications, and then more med's and so forth, to eventually having to go for surgery...
Is it not healthy to simply wear a diaper and stay on one medication to slow down the prostate growth?
