I have some of the same urinary difficulties when taking drugs that can generate anticholinergic type side effects and take an alpha-1 blocker to relieve my difficulties. If you are male, I would certainly consider trying one (females have somewhat different issues, and I must profess ignorance in this area). I personally do not have BPH but have the opposite problem where my prostate is small and constricted because of hypersensitive receptors. I have had relatively good results with both Flomax and doxazosin.
If you are indeed male, I can't believe that you were catheterized rather than trying one of these drugs first, but I am not a urologist. Actually, though, the urologist I saw last year was female, and I seemed to know more about some of this stuff than she did.
