you probably have both, a physical and a mental condition. When the physical problem is improved (as in my case of bladder neck constriction corrected surgically, I say improved because mine was basically an incision procedure, but not approaching the efficiency of what nature could have endowed) The mental problem or conditioning will remain, albeit, it will now be easier to decondition . But you still will have the learnt anxiety, maybe for a shorter time before starting stream. But you still have to deal with standing there and the anxiety before the stream starts. Your subconscious is anxious due to conditioning (for 50 yrs in my case.) That much conditioning will not disappear over night. There is alot of recovery work ahead in my opinion.
