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.

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...

I am having difficulty completely emptying my bladder. My ultrasound report indicates insufficient residue. My PSA level is 5.24 ng/ml and my prostate weight is 35.1 grams. I've been advised to take Flotral D once daily for up to a month. Is this the right medication? How long will I have to continue this treatment?

My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and later had prostatectomy followed by rounds of chemotherapy. He was later prescribed abiraterone which he has been taking for 5 months up until August. His PSA doesn't seem to be going down since 5 months he's been on it. The PSA was checked on Wednesday September 29th and the result is at 38. Do you think Casodex alone or with Lupron will work better than Abiraterone at getting his PSA down? Thanks ## It’s my understanding that Casodex and lupron should be taken together to get the best results. You can access many instructive and very optimistic videos from the Prostate Cancer Research Institute on YouTube regarding treatment options for stage 4 prostate cancer. Good luck! ## Thanks for your input. ## I was told by...

Can Spasmo Proxyvon be used for pain relief in Prostate area for a man of 47 yrs age? ## Spasmo Proxyvon contains: dicyclomine hydrochloride 10 mg + acetaminophen 400 mg + propoxyphene napsylate 100 mg. The combination of these creates a very mild narcotic pain killer. If you do have pain in the prostate area, I would honestly consider diagnosing the underlying cause of this inflammation/pain to better decide how to treat it instead of covering up the pain temporarily. ## substitute for spamo proxyvon or other same kind of medicines. ## Yes, it can used to relieve pain in any area or any parts of the body. But, consumptions of excessive medicine can cause overdose or death. If you took an average dose it can even cure some minor and critical pain forever.
