I have experienced problems urinating for quite a few years now. These include dribbling after finishing, poor stream and increased frequency of a night. These problems have slowly gotten worse.
About 3 years ago I started having problems getting and maintaining erections which have slowly worsened to the point where I very seldom obtain any form of erection, never mind maintaining one!
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and have (within the last month) started taking Insulin to help.
My Cirrhosis was diagnosed 5 years ago and I have been alcohol free for 10 years now.
The main problem I am writing to you about is that of the urination which had gotten worse over the last 2 years. In conjunction with this I have started to get a pain in my left groin/hip. This started as just a uncomfortable feeling at the base of my scrotum, but has now spread up the crease between leg and torso towards the edge of my hip. I have problems sleeping because of the paon, which I rate about 6 at night.
I have had a D.R.E (normal) and my PSA is about 2.5.
I am about to see a Urologist, but would like to have a bit of information to go along with.
Can you shed any light as to a possible cause?
Regards,
Dave H

have you had an ultrasound scan of ur scrotum to check for a varicocele ? sometimes, this condition can lead to erectile dysfunction due to low levels of testosterone. this could also have caused your diabetes. if left untreated further lowering of testosterone levels could cause heart problems... the remedy is simple, if found can be cured by a minor surgery and you will feel better within a week...the varicocele might also explain the groin pain during urination..
