Slow urine flow
I have been advised to take Alfoo from 6months to 12 months,
According to doctor - I have tight urethral external sphincters,
I don't have urination problem as burning or dark color, I have back pain after urination due to slow flow.
cystoscopy is done(have no neurogenic bladder,normal urethra (no stricture urethra), no bph confirmed)
Average uroflowmetry report
Prevoid - 330ml to 440ml
Postvoid-15-20ml
Qmax-13 to 15ml/sec
Qavg - 6 to 8 ml/sec
Questions
1.Can Alfoo give permenant relief after taking 6-12months for this issue?
2.whats the normal uroflowmetry qmax and qavg value for 26yr male?
3.having normal Foreskin in flacid state but tight Foreskin in erect state, can there slow urine flow due to this?

Your urine flow is little bit less as compared to others. Usual q max should be 15 to 20ml/sec.
Alfoo gives only symptomatic relief. It wont cure.
Foreskin problem is d not d cause of slow urine flow.

Foreskin tightness won't affect the Urine flow unless it's so tight that it completely occluded the orifice
There is no specific value for normal flow in your age group, it's always depends on the volume of Urine that you pass. On average a flow about 20-25ml per second would be normal.
Alfoo need's to continued till you completed your family and have a bladder neck incision at later part of life. What you have may be primary bladder neck dysfunction. Ideally you need a urodynamic assessment.
