Interesting observation

| I'm taking clindamycin 300 mg., an antibiotic, for a gum
infection.
Since I started I have a much stronger urine stream. I especially
notice it during the night, when I normally just dribble and have
to sit on the toilet to avoid making a mess. No change in
bathroom-visit freqency, unfortunately.
I wonder if there's any connection, and if so, why.

| Depends on what the germ is that you have in the "gum infection". Some
germs, Chlamydia and microplasm, can be picked up by sex, gum disease, or
simple skin piercing. It MIGHT--COULD--MAYBE--make its way to the heart to
accelerate heart disease or to the prostate to ignite prostatitis which can
easily be mis-diagnosed as BPH. So MAYBE by treating your gum infection
you are also knocking down your prostatitis, unknowingly all the time
thinking your urinary difficulty may have been because of BPH? That's why
its important to get tested for prostatits and have the blookwork done if
you suspect BPH. Best of luck to you. (I'm not a doctor.)

| I have prostatitis. A decade or more before the current dental
problem. BPH for much longer. I didn't think of that until after
I posted. It was diagnosed twice in biopsies. Probably, as you
said, it is causing some of my problems.
