Bladder to urethra: Lots of things can cause slow urine. Your urologist will evaluate you from urethra to bladde to make sure nothing is blocking and either suggest surgery or medicines to help you. Sometimes there's nothing to do!

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not uncommon for pain pills, usually those containing narcotics (hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc), to cause difficulties with urination. More common in older men because of enlarged prostate and occasionally causing urinary retention requiring catheterization. Constipation from pain pills an even more common side effect which also aggravates or causes the urination difficulty.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

?Urethral injury: Problems urinating after prolonged cycling include traumatic or friction urethritis which could develop into a urethral stricture. Sitting and moving on a hard bicycle saddle can also injure pudendal nerves and lead to erectile dysfunction. Suggest you either use a soft saddle, saddle cover or a "split" saddle which has a groove and avoids pressure on your urethra and nerves. Prostate is safe.

Tadalafil : If your cardiologist is involved in looking at your medical profile for heart disease and has cleared you for the use of tadalafil, it can help with controlling your ability to urinate and help to empty your bladder.
