Benefit of Continuing Urologist Visits

[Ab75]

I had RP nine years ago, salvage radiation 4 years ago, my psa test results have been less than

.02 after treatment with radiation.

Current side effects minor incontinence, maybe one leak per day, and one small passing blood in urine event during the past year due to radiation damage to the bladder neck.

Is there value in continuing Urologist visits, I see a different NP each time?

If I stop the visits, then I would have my GP monitor my psa test results annually.

It sounds like you have no further use of a urologist.

That sounds reasonable.

Great question. I have something similar. I think I’ll talk to my GP about moving my biannual PSA test to them. My urology group was absorbed by a big healthcare group and I’ve moved an hour away anyway.
