Hello Doctor,
I am facing some problems with passing urine at night for the last 4 days. Once I got myself hospitalized for a stone issue in the urethra and kidney some years from now.

Hello Doctor,
My urine flow is low since 2-3 years. But now for the last 20 days it has become poor. It takes almost 8-10 minutes to pass urine, though it is hardly around 60-70 ml and sometimes even less. I have been taking cantharis 30, clematis 30, causticum 30, merc cor 30 on regular basis. However, results are not very exciting. Please suggest some medicines.

Hi Dr Sharma,
I have had what the doctors call “interstitial cystitis” for 8 years now. Well that’s what they called it or “painful bladder syndrome”.
Basically I have a very sensitive urethra and it feels like just above the pubic bone down to the urethra is very nervy and a bruised like feeling is present. It is not sore or stingy to pass urine but after going to the toilet it feels very nervy and like I need to pass urine again straight away… as if the bladder is not emptying properly.
Although when I first passed urine the flow is good but it’s like it retains the last little bit. And it takes 4-5 trips to the bathroom after to let out more urine (only dribbling)
I had a neurostimulator fitted 6 years ago which really helped with the nerve pain and when I fell pregnant 3 years ago I turned off the device, after my daughter was born two and a half years ago I have had very little of this pain (neurostimulator has been turned off since I got pregnant) therefore as the pain wasn’t really present I got the neurostimulator removed 4 months ago.
I am now faced with the nerve pain I originally had again and the problems emoting my bladder fully. Could you please recommend something that may help this, I have tried everything
