Guys, In addition to CBD oil, here are a few other herbs that have been helpful to me.
Black Haw - an herb that relaxes smooth muscles. Specifically, I feel that this herb relaxes the muscles in my anus/ rectum which happens to be smooth muscle. Per Web MD: "Women use black haw for treating menstrual cramps and spasms of the uterus after childbirth; and for preventing miscarriage."

Re: Helpful Herbal Supplements

Thanks....
Thanks....
Age: 52 | Onset Age:49 (but I may have had warning signs 25 yrs earlier)| Symptoms: Pretty much all the usual suspects. Frequency, urgency, inability to always empty, burning and numbing uretheral, penile & perineum pain. Frequent urination at night.| Helped By: Internal PT. Myrbetriq helps but is by no means great. TENS to help sleep, and hand held massages of the lower back, hips and buttocks. Standing and physical labor help. Stretches and hot baths. Occasionally use gel iced pad on the perineum. Worsened By: Sitting (being sedentary), driving, sex, bowel movements, tight clothing and underwear. | Other comments: Currently trying L-Theanine

Re: Helpful Herbal Supplements
The Black Haw seems to relax my muscles around the anus, which for me, are sometimes tight. You can actually feel the relaxation of this muscle - it just feels much looser. Black Haw also relaxes other smooth muscles such as the bladder, stomach, intestines, and rectum.
