GB Testimonial 5/2026

Several years ago, I began noticing urinary symptoms: longer and longer delays before urination would start, reduced flow, and more frequent waking at night to urinate. I assumed these symptoms were the whole problem, and that they would never amount to more than an annoyance. What I did not understand until much later was that the real problem underneath them was urinary retention — and that the condition could become incomparably worse.

I came to understand this through Dr. Wayne Kuang. I am not his patient; I found him while trying to educate myself about BPH, and we spoke a few times by video for advice. He gave me what none of the urologists I had actually seen had offered: a clear explanation of what was at stake, and why these symptoms should not be waited out. The urologists I saw did not press me to monitor my bladder function or to take preventive measures. Dr. Kuang does, for anyone who will listen — and having lived the consequences of not knowing, I think he is right that this condition is too often taken seriously too late.

If you are having urinary symptoms like these, don't wait. Ask your urologist to thoroughly evaluate your bladder function, including any obstruction caused by your prostate. If they don't take it seriously, find someone who does. Then be prepared to act, including, at a minimum, regular monitoring of your bladder function. I wish I had heard Dr. Kuang's message years earlier than I did.
