Hi Cvg50 again. I see you mentioned straining. You might want to ask about the Mayo Clinic pelvic floor physical therapy, for both men and women. They work with bio-feedback to achieve synchronized relaxation during the voiding process. It’s very different than straining. With the sciatica issue, it may be an appropriate route. Sorry that I did not know you had sciatica. I am sorry you have to endure that.
