Doxazosin
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

Enlarged Prostate
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

SMALL-CELL NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA
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

Prostatic Artery Embolization
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

Swollen cord-stump after castration?
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

After Urolift Failure What next
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

Ferrittin level (Different Opinions)
Last Wednesday (26th July) I had my 3 monthly blood test in relation to my Myelofibrosis and asked for my Ferrittin level and TSATS to be checked also. The Nurse/Clinician found Ferrittin on the data base but not TSATS and was a bit baffled by the whole TSATS thing. I concluded that I would only get

Docetaxel for mCRPC
My dad 81 was diagnosed in Aug 23 with PC Gleason 8/9 with local spread. He was on Lupron immediately and underwent TURP and orchiectomy in Nov and 10 rounds of radiation. A PET scan in Dec revealed further spread and the doctor started him on abiraterone. The diagnosis was also updated to hormone resistance

Help! Prostate cancer spread to bladder.
Diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2017, confined to bones and lymph nodes. After chemotherapy, have had a great run on drugs, but a bladder neck incision last June confirmed that it had spread to my bladder, about 1cm poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma on the left side. The urologist seemed

Alfuzosin doesn't make a difference!
I have been taking Alfuzosin for years, but getting a little dizzy, so I went off for 3 weeks. I did not notice any difference in my urination after I went off, OR when I went back on. What is going on? Should I just go off this drug or is it doing something beneficial but unseen? Why would some

TURP and Prostatectomy
I am looking at a prostatectomy, but I had a TURP 8 yrs ago. How does this change the risk factors and my potential quality of life for a prostatectomy? If I did radiation therapy, they would like me to have another TURP to remove some of the prostate that is growing into the bladder before starting

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in
