What we look for when the bladder feels unfinished
An incomplete-emptying feeling can come from an enlarged prostate, from a bladder that is irritated, or from a bladder that has grown used to not relaxing. At Johns Creek or Cumming we measure what is left behind after you void, review your medicines, and decide whether this is a BPH conversation, an overactive-bladder conversation, or both. The script above remains as written.
A practical next step in these offices
Phone 678-344-8900 or book a visit if this sensation has lasted or if the stream has also gone weak. If urine stops completely, that is a reason for emergency-department care. Our enlarged-prostate page lists the BPH treatments we offer once we know the gland is part of the problem.
An official video on options when prostate medicine is not enough
Dr. Herman Bagga, who practices at our Cumming Clinic, discusses three next steps when prostate medicine is not doing enough. An unfinished-emptying feeling is sometimes a BPH symptom; the video is context, and a residual measurement in clinic is still the first fact we want.
Watch: Prostate medicine not working? 3 options to helpWhat the video covers. Titled "Prostate medicine not working? 3 options to help." The official video, featuring Dr. Herman Bagga, is about next steps for an enlarged prostate (BPH) when tamsulosin or finasteride is not helping or the side effects bother you, as the public description states.
Whenever a visit would help, the Johns Creek and Cumming teams are a phone call or a booked appointment away.
