I had my first visit with my new urologist the other day, and it went fine...I guess. My post void retention was 356ml. and my psa was 3.2. Both higher than my last visit. I went to my appointment wearing a diaper which took him by surprise, but he didn't over react too much. I explained to him that my incontinence is quite sporadic and unpredictable, so I usually wear some kind of protection when away from home...sort of just in case measures. He did mention that I could have a urodynamic test done, but wasn't adamant about it. I did have one of those tests 7-8 yrs. ago prior to my green light prostate surgery...not the most pleasant experience. As a result I am waiting for another year to see him unless I begin to experience any new developments. I will manage, for now, as I have been. I hope I'm making the right decision. What I don't understand is why my retention can be greater some days then others? I do have a fairly large diverticulum that from what I have read could cause some of my issues.
