See Urologist ...: Go to see urologist with detailed info on the onset, degree, duration, progress, evolution, and sequence of events of all symptoms over time for analysis + physical exam + tests as needed so to deduce if your problems result from the disorders in prostate/sphincter area or urethral stricture which would not respond to medical treatment or bladder weakness or those from urethra and bladder.
