Have my own problems...lol....however I think you just broke a vessel or had an infection, between your young age and the big drop in psa I doubt you have anything wrong...when we see blood we...
We are all different in how we handle things. I understand you have been down this road. Although you have a lot of experience with treatment, none of us are doctors and I could have waited for the...
Thank you for the feedback...no doubt I am anxious. My dad had pc with a horrible diet...I am the opposite and am lean and fit. My urologist is rated #1in Rhode Island and uses John Hopkins for his...
As usual I’m anxious prior to biopsy, I suffer from both prostititis and bph. Previous biopsy’s 32 months ago and 55 months ago were because of a big uptick in psa, one time 7.9 another was 5.4. Both...
Joe you are getting sound advice. Either way I’d bet your dr, wants to sit and explain the results...the week wait sucks,...I have done it twice and possibly a 3rd time coming up. I think the word...
Some doctors are just not good communicators, if I was you..get your biopsy results....I’m betting it’s negative...find a urologist you are comfortable with if your current one doesn’t accomplish...
I am a traveling salesman,..lol,..I plan ahead for piss stops...the fluids.. mainly water will help the prostitis....I’m sure your dr had to tell u that as well...gotta keep the prostate flushed...
My urologist won’t use an antibiotic for prostitis...he doesn’t want my resistance to build up against that. Besides unless you have a bacteria infection it won’t help....my advice for what it’s...
Hi, I just realized there was a second part to your message. My prostitis symptoms include, bladder spasms, urgency to pee, small amounts of blood in seman and or urine (mostly when I don’t drink...
Both biopsy’s were based on a substantial rise in psa. In my case was from prostitis and bph. However doesn’t mean I’ll never get PC. You are correct that many men with lower psa also have PC however...
That’s an excellent free psa. My understanding is anything over25% Is very good! My guess is your bx is negative. Remember with a large prostate you generally produce More psa. I’m in same boat if...
Hang in there...sounds like you have a good dr. There is so much treatment available IF it’s needed. I am same age same (62)bullshit,.,already had 2 biopsy’s 2.5 and 4.5 years ago...both neg. psa can...

My prostititis is chronic I have suffered off and on since I was 35. It's non bacterial. Noticed since last flare up I started drinking green tea and pomergranite juice so psa has gotten as low as it...
My one hope is that since my numbers are back to 4.3 I've read that if you have a cancer they do not go down but continue an upward trend. Hoping for the best will have 2nd biopsy in 2 weeks. Firm...
I'm grateful to have a place to vent. Be 60 in April very healthy,runner,just a dysfunctional prostate. Psa started a slow rise about 5 years ago. Nothing concerning to urologist . At 3.0 back in...
