Ok, I have had extreme urination hesitancy, as referenced in another thread.
My Urodynamics shows that my external urethral sphincter is in spasm when trying to urinate.
Therefore, My doctor prescribed me Uroxatral, and Valium 2mg. Hopefully one of these will work at relaxing the muscles.
Then I read that side effects of Valium include urination difficulty, and urine retention. I also read that half-life of the drug can be up to 200 hours!
Has anybody with hesitancy taken this? Has it helped or has it made it worse? I'm not about to try it after read this.
How does a drug that relaxes muscles make urination difficult?

Slightly off topic, but let me suggest that you SIT on the toilet to urinate. Sit for a while, breathing deeply and slowly (with the stomach, not the chest, as it were), while relaxing your pelvis.

I have found that leaning slightly forward while sitting on the toilet help me more that just sitting, but sitting is much easier than standing.
