Lester,
I think it more accurate to say that "one diuretic pill a day will keep YOUR retention away", if that's the case. I've taken diuretics, as have others here and it is NOT a universal cure for retention. Sometimes it helps a little, sometimes it helps nocturia, and sometimes it makes it worse. Just like coffee and alcohol, which are also diuretics.

Would have to agree. Diuretics decrease blood pressure by increasing urination. That said, if there is some sort of bladder neck obstruction, then to my thinking all the diuretics in the world will be ineffective unless they can somehow relax the stromal and connective that - in part - make up the anatomy of the prostate and bladder neck. Alpha blockers can certainly do it, but I'm just not aware of any alpha blocker that also doubles as a diuretic.

Diuretics require a prescription. No credible physician would prescribe it to a patient if he or she did not know the patient's condition.

You mean rx diuretics. Caffeine and alcohol are also diuretics. You also give physician's a little too much credit. If they did their job 100% there would be no need for a forum like this. Wrong rx's are written every day. Hospitals make mistakes every day. Doctors misdiagnose every day.
