Medications that reduce an overactive bladder
Since I've been on prednisolone my trips to the loo during the night have increased tremendously. I'm not sure if this is due to waking frequently and my body thinking that it's time for the morning loo trip but it seems that whenever I lie down for any period of time it starts up, even if I lie on

Anybody have bad side effects from Decapeptyl SR in Prostate Cancer treatment?
I was treated for Prostate Cancer supposed to have had adenocarcinoma grade 7, 20 radiotherapy sessions and three hormone injections of Decapeptyl Sr from 13th June 2022, in the result I did not have Prostate Cancer, but the damage caused to my pectus carinatum/pigeon chest osteoporosis was serious,

interstitial cystitis
Hi, I've been suffering from uti for 7 months, and finally cleared but now I have burning pain all the time. I've been to the urologist and gynecologist and had all the tests but they can't see anything. I was suffering from constipation but now taking fiber gel which seems to be helping that. I've been

Briefly, I had Radical Prostatectomy in February of 2018, ADT with Salvage Radiation ending in September of 2019 and undetectable PSA until August of 2022 when it increased to .09, then .12 in October, and .22 in December. Finally, .34 in March 2023. I just received this message from my Oncologist

Fosamax (Alendronate) Question
Hi again, I'm a GCA patient that was diagnosed in AUG 2022, started at 60 mg PRED and finally down to 20 MG after 7 months. I was a previous PMR patient about 8 years ago as well, having taken about 6 years to decrease the PRED to zero. At my most recent rheumy visit, he suggested that I start taking

Incontinence after RP and ADT
I had a RO approximately 2 1/2 years ago with a recurrence 12 months later. I have had 37 sessions of radiotherapy and am in month 16 of 18 hormone therapy in the UK. My incontinence seemed to solve itself around 12 months after RP but never fully. In the past 12 months I still suffer from minor involuntary

Genistein potentiates the radiation effect on prostate carcinoma cells
In 2004, after my failed prostatectomy, I came across the Life Extension protocol for PCa (at that time). It included their Ultra Soy Extract. 5 caps provided a massive amount of genistein. LEF suggested taking this 4 times daily. I think that one bottle was $75 & I would need 4 for a month. I didn't

First Post (advice if possible)
hi all, my SO drinks minimum of 45 units per week, sometimes 60. Gets up for work bright as a button, if he goes two days without booze he's quite nasty and won't eat because each food group needs to "have a beer with it". He won't listen to reason, thinks I am nagging, constantly promising to

Constipation
This has been awful for weeks now. Using the usual methods to minimize. I've searched far and wide for best intervention and causes. I know structures are a possibility. Diarrhea, bleeding and pain more common so thankful avoided those. Anyone else have this problem and what worked best? I'm

Almost forgot I have PC
I have been off the grid for a while. Back in late November, I started having bladder problems including bleeding, urgency, frequency and incontinence. In December I was diagnosed with stage 3/b bladder cancer. In late January I had open Cystectomy and was in the hospital for 10 days. My MO put my PC

Having pectus carinatum and PC would radiotherapy or chemotherapy affect the strength of the rib cage structure?
I have PC but also epilepsy which I have had for over fifty years, over 400 + seizures thus weakened my rib cage structure [affected by pectus carinatum/pigeon chest] over the years thus likely to refracture. I have had radiotherapy but would that or chemotherapy affect the bone strength of my rib cage

Skin Lesion
Hi there I’ve had a skin lesion since Xmas. I tried all sorts of creams and even antibiotics and nothing has shifted it. It does feel a bit tender but my main concern is that it itches. Long story short; saw my GP who in end referred me two Wk wait. I had photos done and then called in for biopsy

Detection of a bacterial infection: Procalcitonin test
How to figure out if antibiotics should be considered ? There is a blood test measuring levels of Procalcitonin: if it is below 0.1 ng/mL, a bacterial infection is very unlikely, so antibiotics would be of no help. My question is: how reliable is this indicator, especially on the false negative side

Magical thinking OCD
So I looked this up and I definitely have what is called Magical Thinking OCD. I always have to repeat "safe phrases" in my head or words that are the opposite to ones related to my fears. I do it everytime I turn on a TV, start drawing, turn on my game console, leaving my bedroom, heck even when closing

At Last!!
You all know my problem. So in a nutshell I have bladder cancer and my treatment has been stopped 3 times = last one being because a 6mm was seen on my lung with a CT Scan. My MDT sent the details to the lung people and stopped my BC treatment, well it had not started, I got a phone call in week

Son battled through again.
Hi all, been another difficult couple of weeks. Unfortunately when care home nurse did routine catheter change nearly two weeks ago she made an error. Instead of inserting catheter through into bladder it was forced through to the side outside the bladder creating what is known as ‘a false passage’.
