A Wee Resolution with Benefits !! (medical)

I am only 42 and i was having problems weeing too. I could not empty my bladder fully and u would stand there for ages with the urge to wee but could not. Stage fright on top of that too. Not good!Doc said my prostate was fine only a few years ago......
After using aneros including progasm ICE i am cured!

Yes, the large Progasm model definitely will help urine flow as it massages so much more deeply into the prostate gland. It doesn't bring on the O's like the smaller models for me, though. Just let your doc feel of your gland and keep up with your PSA's. Otherwise, you are simply observing what everyone else has about the benefits of prostate massage and urinary function. Back in the old days you went to your urologist and he manually massaged the gland for you (ouch) but now we have these marvelous little devices for home use.

@slimjm, thanks. I am to my Dr on Wednesday to get my 'blood' results. I will get my PSA and testosterone results among them. I abstained from sex and Aneros for three days prior to giving the blood. So we will see. So far they have been excellent results.

As an aside I think the point on the side of the end of Pro-Ice and the Pro-Jnr make them difficult to insert as the BPH probably changes the angle and position of the sphincter opening. All other models insert easily as they have more rounded ends.

Definitely helps.
I had a worrying period when I was having difficulty doing pee. I had the flow test etc and was told I had an enlarged prostate. I was given medication which helped the flow but killed my erections. Then I came across the Aneros. One day, about a month later, I suddenly became aware that my pee was flowing very easily and without the painful discomfort. Off the medication and my erections went back to normal..
Ps. I take one Saw Palmeto capsule a day, and sometimes a light aphrodaziak which also helps. I am elderly,so I need the boost. The Aneros does improve the prostate health.
I would add that exercising PC muscles regularly and drinking plenty of water each day is very important too.

The 'aging game' does introduce some challenges. For over four years I was very 'reactive' during a Progasm insertion and it would take 10 or more minutes of 'relaxation' for me to get settled down so that Progasm could do it's job without triggering a major peristalsis.

About 18 months ago I took a fall from severe low blood pressure (hypotension) which the Docs attributed to my BPH medication (Saw-P plus a garden variety alfa-blocker) and, no questions asked, they shifted me to Flowmax (retrograde city). While I don't care for those side effects, this med has increased my stream-start, max flow rate and as a side effect has made the Progasm more easy to accept and retain.

I think this experience is confirmation of what @isvara and @slimjm address above. the test will be this summer when my Uro makes his annual estimate of my prostate volume and where my PSA lands.

Do you ever notice a dull uncomfort in your intestinal area after use? Im new at this but noticed after using it for the next few hours I feel a discomfort. I wouldn't really say pain. Am I the only one this happens to? I figure it is my body shrinking back to normal.

@twocan, earlier on I did but it usually resulted from too aggressive Kegels while it was inserted. These days I just relax or try too!!! It triggers its own muscular spasms around the prostate and BC muscle - I am never sure which one.

I actually first found the Aneros site many years ago because of BPH and was looking for a way to avoid the medication. Unfortunately, though I enjoyed the pleasure from the Aneros, I never got any relief from BPH. The prostate consists of three lobes. I think the Aneros is only capable of massaging the median lobe. My problem was my two frontal lobes were too close together.

@hula last year my Uro said I was developing a "groove" in my medial lobe. By co-incidence I had swapped to an MGX for my BPH massages. Hope that translates to a smaller prostate this year.

@twocan, earlier on I did but it usually resulted from too aggressive Kegels while it was inserted. These days I just relax or try too!!! It triggers its own muscular spasms around the prostate and BC muscle - I am never sure which one.

That makes a lot of sense. I am probably too aggresive. Im a newbie so i never know how hard to contract. I don't think I get contractions on its own.

@twocan7, only just recently (3years) have I experienced short series of muscular spasms, not what I would class as rhythmic contractions like others enjoy. So my relief seems to have come from pressure the small spasms around the prostate or very mild Kegels.

In another thread @rook mentioned sessions with the Vice Vibe as being helpful to loosen the old prostate up a bit. Sort of a Progasm Ice with benefits. I am at this point focussing on 'easing the wee' and improving prostate health.

Quick Note. I did a 30 minute session with Vice last night. Vibes set to pulse at level 3 for 20 minutes, then the Vibe slope at level 2 for 5 minutes, then vibe straight at level 2 for 5 minutes. I was pleasantly aware on my prostate most of the night but actually slept very well. I have had a good flow all day today. I may continue with Vice for a couple of days. I find it too big for my normal journey.

@twocan7

If you're new to this and especially if you "try hard" those first times with it to do some Kegel type contractions with it in, you'll feel sore in your inner sphincter area for a day or two afterward. Let your system have a few days rest, then try again. I do more of the "do-nothing" approach where I relax and then let involuntary contractions take over and deliver the orgasms and this may help avoid your "trying to hard" at first and getting sore.

I have found myself doing kegels when I am at work or watching tv without anything in. I never did this until i started experimenting with p spot toys. I have tried to put it in and forget about it but didnt know if that does any good. Ive left in for hours several times but didnt know if that helped. Of course it is hard not to contract at least evey few minutes. I dont think its possible to forget about it.

PSA is 1.8 it has gone down from 2.2. Dr very happy with that (so am I). Free testosterone is 410, she was very happy with that. I know that each country has different measures. 400 - 500 is my target area for an active life.
I contribute these good figures to my use of an Aneros.

There's no harm, twocan7, with leaving it in for hours. It usually doesn't accomplish much to do so and after a while gets uncomfortable, as I guess we've all tried that at one time or another. That's great about your PSA, isvara. I've found it important to avoid any sexual activity or Aneros use for about a week before drawing a PSA blood test.

@teacan7, it was a long time before I had some small contractions. I cheat a bit and may have developed a bad habit that is I can now usually trigger a few mini contractions when I breathe out fully. I think that that is what happens when we trigger ejaculations. A good experiment for a younger person who can easily get an erection on demand, I can't too old. So f I relax with an Anoeros in place and fully breathe out I get a bit of a response - sometimes quite strong but not yet more than a few. Now these responses happen when I relax without an Aneros - I wish they would get stronger and pulse for some reasonable time. But nevertheless less it is getting better but rather slowly!
slimjm, I only had 3 days clear of all sexual activity, but then my activity at the best is fairly mild.

I gave some advice a while ago about inserting PG ice that works for me: Of course, lube well and pre-lube, I thnk, is very important. But as I am beginning to insert, I pull upwards/forwards on the handle as I begin to advance, like really forwards. If I try to insert it like Helix, I may actually have some anal discomfort to pain. but with the tilting forward of the handle (and the tilting back of the tip), it begins it ascent and then I straighten it out gradually as I continue to insert. Works every time, but then again: WWFY! Cheers and happy riding, all

Just updating.Posted as it may be useful to others.

I am running with a plan that is working.
First up Progasm - Ice to sleep with until first wake up, (thanks @Armon-neat for the advice it goes in easily now).
Then nothing until very early morning
Then Helix -Syn until around get up.
I have recorded the 'urination difficulty. With the above I have no problems during the day at all - amazing. I have tested this by breaking the routine and suffered the consequences.

AND AND AND
I am finding with the Helix SYN I am having all sorts or amazing repetitive contractions in the prostate flowing to the BC and repetitive contractions of the abdominal muscles (not sure what this is called). This is a mega step forward for me. The prostate becomes quite alive (at last). Moving my position reveals a potential trigger but not firing yet. It is most successful when I am not fully awake but fully aware so I now know that my brain when fully operational has a very tight control over me. The good thing is that once the brain becomes accepting of what is happening it will include the new experiences in its programming and let it through.
It is certainly a different path to a common goal.
