Four (4) days ago I had my 2nd protate biopsy. The 1st one was four (4) years ago. This one has been more problematic. While still on the table after the 14 samples were taken, I became nauseated, dizzy and broke out in s cold sweat. Low sugar was blamed. Was given a tootsie pop to eat and within ten (10) minutes, I was feeling much better. Yesterday (3 days post-biopsy) I mowed my grass, on the lawn tractor for two hours. I came in to shower. When I urinated, there was much higher concentration of bright red blood in it. I'm think the bouncing on the lawn tractor aggravated the recently-invaded prostate tissue. Anyone have any thoughts? Am waiting, now, for biopsy results. If positive, this will end my every 3-months TESTOPEL implantation.

I used to urinate frequently in the night. With this complaint I went to a urologist. That time retention of urine in the bladder (Ultrasound scanning) was found to be around 40cc. Then I was prescribed Dynosper(Tamsulosin 0.4mg). Used it for about 4 months. I did not have any problem. Meanwhile I found that if I stop taking water around 2 hrs before going to bed, the problem of frequent urination stopped. Then I discontinued the tablet. I did not feel it as a problem. Two months ago, approached urologist with the complaint of frequent urination in the day time. Not able to empty the bladder at a stretch etc.. Then my urine flow was analyzed. It was 4cc at maximum followed by a graph related to dripping of urine. Then I am prescribed Flotral-D (Alfuzocin10mg +dusteride 0.4 mg). I am usi...

I may be getting a prostate biopsy and just wanted to know what I'm for. I'm I put to sleep,is there pain or discomfort,will I have trouble urinating. This is my original problem,sloow steam and my psa is above 6 what ever that means. I'm 61 ## Hello, Don! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. PSA stands for prostate specific antigen, it's what's used to measure if you may have an infection, or prostate cancer. The biopsy will let the know which. There may be some discomfort and bleeding, afterwards, that can occur with any biopsy. Your urination issues will not likely change, as reported by the NIH. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Please advise me for what is the alternative to MRI scan for a prostate cancer diagnosis, since...

I take 1mg of Prazosin for an enlarged prostate. Although it has stopped me waking up 2 or 3 times to do a pee in the night, I still wake up usually between 5am-6am dying for the toilet. I take it every night at 9pm. Should I take it earlier around 6pm or up my dosage? Thank you. ## What has your doctor advised? As you age, it is normal to start having to wake up to urinate, when it becomes a problem is when its several times a night, and disrupts your entire sleep pattern, but once isn't generally considered a problem. What has your doctor advised? You should speak with them regarding your specific needs, before making a change to your medication regimen. Prazosin may cause side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, tiredness, headache, and urinary retention. R...

I'm to have a prostate biopsy soon which I understand is rather painful and I'm wondering if two Percocet 7.5-325 prior to the procedure would help reduce the pain? I will also be given valium by the Dr. ## You shouldn't take anything, unless the doctor instructs you to do so. The FDA warns that Percocet carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. What pre-biopsy instructions were you provided? ## My doc prescribed/ok'd the Percocet along with the valium. The prostate biopsy was TOTALLY pain free.

I have chronic prostatitis for over years. My pain in testicles and lower back get severe these days. What medicine is efficient for curing chronic prostatitis? ## Hello, Jackson! How are you doing? I am sorry that you're in so much pain. Have they discovered the cause? There are 2 types of chronic prostatitis, one that is due to a bacterial infection, and the other isn't. As reported by the NIH, the bacterial form is usually treated with 4 to 12 weeks of antibiotics, plus medications to alleviate the pain. The other type is generally caused by inflammation that may have no known origin. What kind of testing has been done? ## Thank you for your reply. I had a test of my prostate fluid and it showed that it was not caused by bacteria. I'm taking a herbal medicine called diure...

Anyone in the know whether or not progesterone creme can be helpful in men with prostate maladies? ## I climax early and my sperms are not strong/powerful and they are eaching as if they"ve got an acid, so my partner doesn't fill anything. what can I use to stop that? ## @Bob, From what I've been reading, Progesterone is actually vital for maintaining good health in men. But when we get older we don't produce as much, which may be linked to various prostate problems... depending on the underlying cause of it. Diet plays an important role too. Because we don't know the underlying cause of your prostate maladies, I think deciding on whether or not to supplement with Progesterone would be probably better determined by a combination of you and your doctor or urologist...

Anytime you have such a serious medical condition, you really need to check with your doctor, before taking anything. It would be remiss of me to answer one way or the other, when I am not familiar with your medical history, your overall health or any other medications that you may be taking. Was it prescribed by your doctor?
