ASAdvacate- I'm not sure how many they planned. They really only told me they got the whole right and 1 left, so I'm unsure of the actual number they took, I assumed it was 5, but may have been 7. I...
Biopsy done today. Results in a week. I will likely require another biopsy though. They only got 5 cores. They got all the cores on right, but only 1 on left and stopped because my blood pressure...
Sorry I didn't follow up with you sooner. I saw the head of urology at Rhode Island hospital which also happens to be head at the va hospital. She was pretty straight up about things and immediately...
Hello. I'm hoping for some feedback from those with experience. I'm a 40 years old. I was diagnosed with bph 4 years ago, having a 6cm enlarged prostate at the time. I have been on finasteride since...
Just a little follow up. I had a urodynamic test done to help determine if my LUTS was from my enlarged prostate or possibly neurological in nature from my head injury. The results seem to indicate...
It sounds like my chance of having or getting PCa is about the same as my chances if developing BPH with LUTS at 36. It's like rolling dice....
I haven't had a biopsy. So there isn't a pathology report. Prostatitis has not been mentioned as a concern by either of the urologists I've seen. This may be due to all the other testing I've had...
Well, I got the PSA test. The doc called me a few hours later and told me I was in normal range. Actually, he said it was much lower then he expected it to be given the size of my prostate. I don't...
Thanks for all the replies and support. I understand that my PSA test will come back elevated just due to the size of my prostate. The urologist that ordered the test explained that to me also. He...
So I followed up with my urologist. She did a uroflow and ultrasound which showed decreased flow but good bladder emptying. She then scheduled me for a Cystoscopy and started me on Uroxatral. When I...
Thanks for the encouragement. It has been a tough ride. I'm not sure what kind of therapy it is. I just go to her office and talk to her for an hour twice a week. I'm not sure what other kinds of...
I was injured almost a year ago and suffered a TBI. Since then, I've been dealing with severe residual symptoms. Cognitive and memory problems, daily migraines and cluster headaches, balance problems...
I have not had a PSA test. I think I may be a little higher risk. Which scares me more. I'm a previous radiation worker and being military I've been exposed to who knows what. PeterDisAblard I hope...
New member. First post. I recently had a CT w/ contrast of my abdomen that my urologist ordered while investigating 6-9 months ongoing symptoms such as increased urinary frequency (12-16 times a...
