Hi,
The fact that the subsequent ejaculation was brownish indicates that there was no fresh bleeding within the affected structure.
Your urologist is right about the providing rest from ejaculation for the next few days to ensure healing and to minimize chances of an infection.
The appearance of cysts in the prostate is some cause for worry and you should have your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels checked.
I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
I read a lots about prostate and PSA test. As I can tell, as your age 63, PSA 1.84 (05/08) seems good (low). Your trend showed that 2006 to 2007 had a big step (0.7 to 1.79) because the velocity is 1.09, which >0.75/yr, but since that (03/08 will not count) is 1.84. I think it seems that your "new" level is about 1.8, but this new trend need to be proved - if you repeat it in a couple years, and it will stay in this level.
I have been seeing my urologist every 6 months since the surgery and having PSA tests. the first 4 tests post surgery have all seen PSA levels of 0.01 or less. Today I had a 6 month follow up visit and my PSA has risen to 0.2. The Dr has suggested that we do a follow-up in 4 months to see if the PSA level goes back down or to start monitoring closer the rise in PSA level if it in fact is starting to rise. My question is How concerned should I be at this time?
Psa on April 2009 zero and remained essentially zero at 3 month intervals (except occasional 0.01) until June 2013. Psa Sept 2013= 0.03, psa Jan 2014 0.03, psa May 2014 0.04, and psa August 2014= 0.05. The question is " should I be concerned with this elevation and if not, then at what point should I be concerned about recurrence and then what workup should be pursued and what treatment should be considered. Thank you.
s normal for prostate tissue to release small amounts of PSA into your bloodstream. When the prostate grows, PSA levels increase. When the prostate is removed, PSA levels fall close to zero. Most procedures done for an enlarged prostate remove only part of the prostate, which partially decreases PSA levels. A small amount of prostate tissue may remain even after procedures that are considered a total removal of the gland.
I read an article study of Japanese men with PSA between 2 and 4 which concluded "PSA-ACT is better than total PSA and equivalent to the free-to-total ratio for detecting prostate cancer in men with PSA levels of 2.0-4.0 ng/ml, and is thus useful for reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies"
to Google "Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) complexed to alpha..."
I fall within the category my PSA is 2.54 at the moment last monday. 4 years ago it was 1.5.
In August, my PSA (Total) and PSA (Free) were 0.9 and 0.1 respectively - resulting % Free PSA as 11%. In January, my PSA (Total) and PSA (Free) were 0.6 and 0.1 respectively, resulting % Free PSA as 17%. I believe the Total PSAs are quite in the healthy range, but in both occasions, the % Free PSA came out to be low (the normal is > 25%). Is there anything to be worried about?
However, biopsy itself, rigorous physical activity affecting the prostate, such as bicycle riding, may cause a temporary rise in PSA levels and excessive doses of some chemotherapeutic drugs, may increase or decrease PSA levels. It is recommend that a high PSA should be repeated (between 6 weeks and 3 months after the high PSA) before taking any further action.
Hi,
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood. Common benign prostate conditions such as prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia can increase PSA levels.PSA levels alone do not give doctors enough information to distinguish between benign prostate conditions and cancer. It would be best to get the PSA after your treatment as well as the digital rectal exam to watch for any changes.
Since I am a black male and since my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year at 65, the doctor asked me to take a PSA test as well as a free PSA test on Aug 30 (PSA 8.880 ng/ml and free PSA 1.37 ng/ml). He also put me on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. The urination issue was resolved thereafter and there was nothing odd detected during the the DRE. Follow up tests (free psa and psa) were taken on Oct. 25. (PSA 7.460ng/mL and FPSA of .55 ng/mL).
feb 6,2014 surgery. Davinci Robotic. Geason 3+4. Stage pT2, pN0. My 1st follow up psa March 20 <0.02; June 20, psa 0.02; September 18 psa 0.06. my concern is the obvious rise in psa. Although significantly below .2 warning level. Any thoughts on this increase and or recomendations. Thank you.
I was 50 years old and had a radical prostatectomy in October of 2008, negative margines and no cancer in the lymphnodes. It was T1c and Gleason of 6. in 2009 my psa was .02 in 2010 psa was .01 and in 2011 psa was .03 Is there anything to worry about. I had herd that they have some concern when psa doubles within a year.
