John Smith, a 58-year-old retired mechanic,...
John Smith, a 58-year-old retired mechanic, had been struggling for over a year. His stream was weak, he felt like he never fully emptied his bladder, and he was getting up 4-5 times a night. He was embarrassed and thought it was just 'getting old.' His primary doctor referred him to a urologist after a bladder scan showed significant residual urine. The urologist explained that a cystoscopy was needed to look inside, suspecting an enlarged prostate or a stricture. During the procedure, they discovered and fulgurated a posterior urethral valve (PUV), a rare but treatable blockage. John was anxious but relieved to have an answer. The recovery involved a catheter for a day and some burning with urination for a week. Within a month, his flow was stronger, and he was sleeping through the night. Emotionally, he moved from frustrated resignation to immense relief and regained confidence, wishing he hadn't suffered in silence for so long.
