hi folks,
Well the pain has not happened for several days the Dr said really bad bladder spasms combined with gas pain. hopefully thats over I started feeling better day 7 then every day since a little better so i think
i turned the corner. Dr called with final path report. Gleason the same as going in 3=3-6 margins negative,semi vesc negative, lymph nodes negative. Everything i wanted to hear so its really takin a load of my shoulders.


now to new problems lol
Every BM or sometimes passing gas i get blood from penis.. its not in the urine for the most part {although it was once a little bit} heck if i even go to sit down on the bowl some times i can feel it coming up it feels like im urinating but its blood
i have to be ready to have a towel there to get it i mean most of the time its a little but sometimes its more the a little. i spoke to the DR he was a little concerned but he keeps saying dont force a BM i told him im not forcing it just happenes
i know ive read alot on the board about this but when is it to much blood?

thx for being here

Rick, I am not familiar with this problem I will however watch this thread to see what others say. I had surgery and radiation and never experienced bleeding from the penis. I think that warrants further investigation, again though I am not familiar with this problem.

peace to you

Blood from Penis is common when having a BM. When my husband was released from the hospital, he was given a list of things to do and not do, as well as general instructions and information as to what to expect. One of things on the list was passing of blood in urine (my husband passed a couple of blood clots for about 4 days) and seeing a bloody discharge from the penis when having a bowel movement. I wouldn't worry too much about this but checking in with your doctor's office should put your mind at rest.

Good news about your path report ... now, on to healing well.

Rick -

Your path report sounds excellent.

As far as the bleeding goes, I had a little during my first post-op week and after that nothing.  The blood is probably a result pushing too hard during a bowel movement.  A tablespoon of milk of magnesia once a day helped me keep my stools soft.  When I was on the toilet all I had to do was think about pooping and everything just slid right out.  If you get your stool loosened up and don't do anything physical for several days the bleeding will probably go away.

Hi Rick, Great news on the path report. I was also happy when I recieved a good path report. I was lucky not to have bladder problems. I only had a few small clots in the bag after that I was fine. I hope all continues to go well. I have 4 weeks until my first blood test for my PSA.

Good luck Jeff
