Last May I spent ten days in the hospital intestinal bleeding.
I was taking Xeralto.
I dropped my dosage to 10 mg. My stools were still very black and soft. Clean up was a mess.
I stopped taking Xeralto.
Then I noticed I was very constipated. It was like I had a 'plug' in me. It was very hard to pass, but when I did, the 'back up' just poured out of me.
I have noticed that when I am constipated, my urine flow is very reduced, no force and just dribbles out.
I know I have chronic BPH and take medicine for it.
I take an 10 mg iron twice a day, along with the other 11 pills I take daily.
I will feel the urge to urinate, rush to the bathroom and nothing, then, after I feel, for lack of a better word, spasms and the urine startes out,
The stream is so weak, it just sprays all over the place. In our RV, my wife suggested I get a long neck funnel.. it works in there, at home, I just stand over the toilet bowl.
I'm not complaining, and when I have my wellness visit in June, I will share this with my GP.
I take a diuretic in the am with my blood pressure pill.
