A health cost thread would be helpful as we age gracefully

When my leg/knee is healed I need to see an Urologist here as an ultrasound test in Australia on my recent trip back showed urine retention in the bladder.

I was quoted AUD$3k for a private Urologist procedure  for relief of a stricture. Urethral dilatation is a procedure to widen the urethra leading from the bladder, to help fully empty the bladder.

Wondering what this procedure costs here.

oze, my brothers father in law in Dumaguete had a laser procedure to assist in urination, do not know the exact details.  Was not at expensive and was I think in and out, the results were excellent.

Increasing VO2max is the key to every activity. It's 5x 3min full power on a treadmill/bicycle with 1 min breaks. Daily activity. Also increases life expectancy.
