Does the doctor think it's damage from the RP that's causing the bleeding? It could be something else, like a kidney stone or a urinary tract infection.

Got the results from my patient portal. Nurse had previously called regarding PSA results (0.00) but she didn’t mention urinalysis. I have a call into the doctor. I went back and looked at urinalysis results over last 3 visits (they do a urinalysis each time I go in for blood draw for PSA) and results went from “trace”, to “small” and now to “moderate” for blood. Actually 10 months out from RP. No complications with RP. Positive margin 2mm gleason 6, still contained however, no EPE & no SV, pre surgery PSA was 3.95. Have been taking Viagra since surgery. No incontinence and ED faring very well. Over a really big hurdle and now worried I might have another to climb!
