Hi Noeltone What a problem and i know with this the first thing they check is your prostrate but i think thats a matter of corse so that they can rule it out or not. Have you been checked for kidney stones, did you have the flow test where you have to drink lots of water. There is a tablet that can help with dribling and another that helps you stop going as much. Are you up and down in the night.
Try not to worry to much i know its difficult but there are many things that can cause the problem not just prostrate. The big problem is waiting for the appointments whilst your like that. I had the problem in my 40s and it turned out to be a blockage in the tube from kidney to bladder and the valve that stops and starts the wee process. had it fixed and no problem since apart from i keep getting kidney stones but i blame the methotrexate for that although the rheumy says its not. Take Care and keep your chin up

Hi Colin my GP mentions a blockage and has had me on tablets that expand the uterus I think and it has eased me from going so much it was every 2 hours or so stiill dribbling my prostate is not enlarged no ive had no such tests GP will refer me back to urology if these tablets do not stop the dribbling yes i get up during the night and empty bladder then its full again when I wake someone said when you go 16 times a day there might be probs it would be better if NHS could just do all the tests but that only happens in the General on TV and get to the bottom of things no pun included cheers Colin Chrisov btw you mentioned Duke of WEstminster is that the man involved with AC ??????

Hi Chrisov
So very glad your prostate is ok
Am not much help am I?, but that would have been dreadful - so I am pleased.
Take care and I hope you get sorted soon
