November, I had that sphincter sliced to stay open (i'm already a paraplegic, worn condom caths for 22yrs) and for past 2 yrs would SWEAT, not pass urine unless I lay down or get on couch or go in pool, or lift myself up in wheelchair, or cath 1000cc's. Anyway, procedure didn't help. Been using foley cath since procedure & probably will for a long time till bladder shrinks or forever. Nice not gluing condom on 2x/day but foley cath's a pain in it's own respect.

I got to watch the procedure, as dr spoke what he was doing & showing me on screen. That was the coolest part & experience i've had with this medical bologna. My blood psi med is Prazosin which I took for 20 yrs & less then 1/2 that time ago, was found to help pass urine in guys anyway. Didn't do it for me.

edit - uro said mine was spasming which was causing my problem. Well, guess that wasn't it. Have them look at it to see if it's really spasming FIRST.
