Yep thats exactly the tablets he's prescribed 😒

Well i finally got to the point where my urine retention was a big problem so i went to my local urologist and he advised a camera up my willie to see any problems, no issues other than my bladder was showing signs of inflammation so he advised a catheter for two weeks. He did state like you @xylophone that it would appear my bladder is not functioning correctly and he prescribed meds for 4 weeks that are supposed to improve your bladder function, I'm due to see him again tomorrow, i'll report back.

SUT Government Hospital in Korat used to have an American doctor Dr Ryan Lloyd, i saw him along with a load of other farangs for a couple of years, it was like visiting your GP in your home country, he was brill. I'm sad to say he's moved on and is living elsewhere in Thailand with his Thai wife and children, he obviously was fluent in Thai, he is sorely missed.

I have exactly the same issue but it does'nt appear to be causing me any problems at the moment, how long that will continue nobody knows. I'm not suffering any infections so i just carry on regardless. My thinking is until i have infections i'll just carry on but like you say i don't know if i'm damaging my kidneys. I had a kidney check a few months ago and they were fine. I'll be off to BNH hospital in Bangkok to see Urologist Dr Suntchai if i ever need to, they at least do more corrective procedures than just TURP which is the case where i live here in Korat. Going back to the UK is indeed an option, at least you can trust the advice you will receive, i have my doubts here after my experience in January 2022. Good luck, please keep us informed.

How long is the Certificate of Residence valid for ? TIA

Anyone else having problems logging in to their Wise Account ? i go to my signing in and my email address and password comes up so i click on ''sign in'' and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help, I'm sure i've got a different box and remote to you and its a real problem with Truevisions keep changing these items. I can't access anything like what you are saying but the good news is i had the engineer around yesterday for 2 hours trying to sort it out and eventually he succeeded by eventually using another new box and constantly contacting his dept on the phone. Now here's the anomaly the engineer asked to look/operate my other old box upstairs which we duly did and as per the last few years of use my old box has English on channel 600 English Premier League but on the new box its Thai and it can't be changed, this confirmed to him what i have been saying, its an absolute FU !!!!!!!!!! He stated he could'nt do anything else to ensure English on the new box but i checked all the channels i regularly use and i have English other than channel 600 but no probs cos channel 602 is a repeat of channel 600 and its in English. Why oh why Truevisions insist on keep changing these boxes and remotes is beyond me but i think i know the reason why.............. THE COST TO THEM and they are looking for the cheapest option.

Why not advertise on here ?

Great post once again, yes indeed i will keep you informed. I take my hat off to you in dealing with your problem having to use a catheter twice a day, that must be difficult to deal with but as you say you get used to it. I've only used a catheter after my Turp for 7 days and i really did'nt have any problems, no real pain etc, it really did'nt bother me and i was very surprised at the fact that every morning the bag was full of urine and i'm deffo not peeing that amount of urine the 2 times each night so lots of urine retention. Yes indeed please send me a PM with the details for me to obtain the tablets as i really don't want any infections to add to my problem. Great to hear you have a Doc in NZ looking out for you, i wish i had in the UK. And the very best to you Sir.

Well i tried the menu button and found ''language'', it was set to English and i reconfirmed and exited. Then checked channels and its still in Thai. I'm gonna get the engineer round and he can do with me avidly watching what he's doing.

I had a new Truevisions box fitted yesterday and low and behold the music channels have disappeared, i tried all channels using the remote with no success. I am a daily user/listener to the Rock Channel No 708 so i'm really not happy. I will be contacting Truevisions this morning to find out what is going on, it will require a visit to their branch in my local Lotus as calling their 1242 number reaps no success. They really are becoming a POS imo.

I had a new Truevisions box installed yesterday which i have to say appears to be far short of the quality of the previous box and remote. Well after the True engineer left low and behold i started getting problems and ended up taking out the power/hdmi leads as instructed, problem solved but its now NOT in English language but Thai. I have no question mark on the remote but do have a menu button, i'll try that but from memory i'm not expecting any success, i'll report back.

Many thanks for your post, great info. Well my urination frequency has increased to 5/6 times a day but remained at a couple of times a night but i am constantly concerned regarding infections as i'm only peeing small amounts so my bladder never gets anywhere near emptying. I think i might start taking the tablets you mention as a safeguard. At the end of the day i believe i will have to undergo another procedure and am thinking of trying Dr Suntchai at Bangkok Nursing Home Hospital as they/he do carry out 4 different procedures rather than my local private hospital or any hospital in Korat as they only do the Turp. My Turp was not a success as a friend here in Korat who had the Turp with the same urologist is pissing like a horse. I have lost all confidence in this urologist and the Turp procedure as he has never given me despite my questioning a satisfactory explanation, he just replies like a politician when questioned. I have now obtained a copy of my medical records of the procedure to take to Dr Suntchai at BNH for his perusal (records are obviously in Thai) I am all geared up for any emergency appointment to Dr Suntchai, i have a driver ready at anytime of the day or night but might have to visit a urologist locally first if i can't pee to put a catheter in before my Bangkok journey. God getting old sucks. PS - What MG are you taking for the Hiprex or Uramet tablets ?
