After 2 months of TURP Small blood clots in urine are coming during morning time. What could be the reason?

Hi I have had IBS C for many years and I get pain most early mornings but I now seem to wake up more feeling the urge to pee! Often I cant go or have to wait for a few mins before going. Flow can be poor. I have had all the prostate tests and a TURP a few years ago but I am getting really frustrated

my partner keeps getting twisted bowels, the medical diagnosis is VOLVULUS, following TURP prostate surgery, for a very enlarged prostate that pressed on the colorectal bowels. Following surgery, the colorectal bowels became floppy and he keeps getting twisted bowels and must undergo an immediate

Hi All, I was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2017. It has spread to my bladder. About 1cm in June 2023, it has grown to about an inch last January, so I was advised then to start chemotherapy which I’m still on and which seems to be holding it in check. I continue to get a splash of red

My foley catheter has become extremly painful lever since I did a round of IMRT back in March. My urologist is reluctant to intervene but the catheter has become so painful that he is considering a TURP so that I can possibly rid myself of the foley. After doing a bit of reasearch I read an article

My husband has had issues with peeing for years ( probably why stage 4 at diagnosis, cause blamed BPH) . He recently finished last chemo 3 weeks ago and is again noticing a change when peeing. Says that he feels a great deal of pressure towards the end of the pee stream and feels like the end of his

I am on 4 mg Doxazosin twice a day, combined with 2.5 mg Bendromethiazide and 100 mg Losartan. The Doxazosin was increased due to an increase in BP reading, and we opted for Doxazosin as at the time I had an enlarged prostate. The prostate has now been treated with a TURP operation. I am suffering from

I have an enlarged prostate and I am trying to determine if I should be taking medicines or have a procedure such as TURP. I would like to get some experiences of people that have taken Flomax or other medicines to reduce the prostate size. I have an allergy to sulfa, what makes me a little nervous about

Following prostate cancer first treated with low dose brachytherapy, then ten years later with high dose brachytherapy, from a biopsy following a Turp, I was diagnosed with SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA. From a CT scan this was found in my prostate, bladder, and lower colon. I am told that it

I’m 67 year old and have been suffering with BPH for years. Don’t want to do TURP or lasers. I’m interested in doing PAE. Has anyone had this procedure done. Does it work. I had a cystoscope and the urologist found a medial lobe at the neck of the bladder. Would PAE work if the blockage is located there

Guys, I posted last week on this issue but looking for additional feedback. Appears my cancer is spreading after 5 years but also experiencing urination issues at same time. I met with urologist and he suggests Turp procedure. I meet with radiation oncologist next week. My question is has anyone experienced

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to mine. I had a TURP op for a BHP less than 12 months ago. All going well until my PSA test 3 months ago came back as 18.5 then 18.9 one month later. Since then I have had an MRI, PET scan and biopsy which has found 5 tumours on my

I got castrated three years ago, because the boys were inflammated, hard and numb. The right one cut out inguinal, got examinamed in pathology with result: no cancer. Thereby the left one got cut out from his sac-shelf directly, so i have the cord stump still in my inguinal left. It was often swollen

I'm Steve and live in Western Kentucky, near Evansville, Indiana. We live in my husband's hometown - moved here two years ago from the Sacramento, California, region. We love it here and our town had its first Pride celebration yesterday that was well attended. I've watched my PSA rise over the past

Hello, I was wondering if you can offer some thoughts on my dad’s situation. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February after a week in hospital with urine retention. A Ct scan he had in hospital showed 2 small mets in pelvic area. He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his PSA in hospital

I had a good friend, 72 yo, that had TURP recently and the tissue showed something like a 1% cancer content (he was not very technical in exactly what it was). His PSA is and has been in the 2 range, yet his doc wants to do a prostate biopsy. Normally a person with a PSA of 2 would not have an invasive

I never did, though I was diagnosed in 2018. I did have a TURP, however, which was completely ineffective (the goal was freeing urination; didn't work). It occurred to me that most of the posters here probably had prostatectomies, which would make them far more concerned about rises in PSA. My PSA

I had the Urolift procedure in June 2021. No change to symptoms at all apart from near 'urgency incontinence'. A recent cystoscopy revealed that one end of one of the four implants used was in my bladder (rare occurrence) which has started to 'crust' and a stone has formed which has now been lasered

My husband had TURP a week ago because of years of issues with peeing . He was supposed to get this done last year but was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer , you may read my profile for his treatment and current PSA . The urologist said they would test all the tissue they take out . We were called by our
