@hanksgt, do you have pelvic/genital lymphedema? Is this causing excess urination issues?

My new Primary physician she suggested to try PT for pelvic lymphedema to strengthening and retraining pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control, and potentially reducing urinary frequency. I do the suggested muscle exercises and I use a Nerve Tens unit 3 or 4 times a week. I still take my meds Finasteride and Tamsulosin for prostate and it helps a little. I have seen 4 urologist and they just don’t listen they just prescribe nonsense because they don’t listen. I have done the scope test taken oxybutynin which was BS. Taken zolpidem for sleep as was suggested by a urologist so I don’t wake up at night to go pee. Urologist said I had sleep apnea and I asked what about during the day when I am not sleeping is It still sleep apnea. My PC doctor took me off Metformin HCL since my A1c has been 5.8 and glucose 101 to 108
I know Metformin makes you urinate more so that did help with my frequent urination problem and pelvic lymphedema therapy is helping. I hope this answers your question thank you.
