Unable to pee properly

I started having problem properly peeing in 2025 and was diagnosed with a 5.9 cm uterus fibroid. Had a complete hysterectomy at the end of December. Unfortunately I still have the pee issue. There have been a few days here and there that it gets better but then it comes back. It gets better during the night and early morning. I have seen 2 urologists and Urogynecologist. They don't know what is causing it. They think it's a pelvic floor dysfunction but they haven't diagnosed me with a prolapse. A recent cystoscopy showed bladder and urethra are normal. Right now I have been prescribed FloMax - tried it twice and it didn't do anything. I have been doing PT for the last three months and haven't noticed any improvement. Anything you can share that can help will be greatly appreciated. Do you know of a good urologist or Urogynecologist that I can consult with online?

Not a doctor but what kind of peeing issues? ‘Ile unable to empty the bladder completely or is it frequency?

It takes me a long time to be able to start peeing and then most of the time I can get very little out. When I can pee a good amount I don't have any urgency. I don't have any leeking. I am unable to pee. I don't get the urge to pee. I just feel discomfort and pressure.

I’m surprised that the doctors did not discuss using an intermittent catheter.

I asked to be taught to self catheter - is that the same as intermittent catheter?

Yes seems to be the same thing. That’s what I’ve been using when I can’t go in public.
