I have had several episodes of not being able to make it to the bathroom and have also wet the bed several times. My doctor gave me Enablex and the episodes stopped. I stopped taking Enablex and the bedwetting and not making it to the bathroom happened again. The doctor started me on Vesicore and again the episodes stopped. Have you ever heard of this happening after TUMT? I had the TUMT so that I could stop taking Flomax.
he has done urodynamics and also looked into my bladder through scope and said that nothing is wrong with my bladder and urthera,he first gave me vesicare for a month than enablex but condition still remains the same ,then i went to another general phyisican he sent me for x-ray of my lower back,results came out negative.my urlogist told me to go to neurolgist...
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm feeling or even if it's real or imagined from nervousness. My left side only...leg from about knee down, not feet and my left lower arm/hand feels "weird"...mostly at night when I get in bed and lay to watch t.v. I think my left hand feels weird when I'm typing, not fingers. I have no "pain" , numbness, tingling...just a weird, mild feeling. Sometimes a small shakiness.
I did a voiding rate test during that time (pee into cup device and measure flow) and it looked ok. The whole time my voiding seemed slower and with less volume in my own opinion. I ended up seeing a 3rd urologist due to a move. He was shocked that I hadn't had more tests. He first did a cyctoscopy (camera into bladder by way of catheter). He said he could see that the pelvic floor seemed tight, but I was free from lesions or other stuff.
In summary, results of tests were a slightly enlarged prostate and in his opinion, an overactive bladder to be treated with Enablex. He did not seem concerned with my prostate.
Here's my problem. I am still having general urethra discomfort and persistent need to urinate but often without the ability to urinate. This has been going on ever since my initial UTI symptoms in mid-November and it's driving me crazy.
I did suspect HSV but you put that to rest.
for 2 days (really red/ irritated) then it slowly subsides over the next week- then like clockwork it flares up again and the same pattern again (for the past year) I have been on flomax, hytrin, enablex you name it and nothing has helped my symptoms- now starting yesterday, after I urinate I get this intense pain in my bladder- I am going out of my mind TRUELY- it has caused me major depression and my sex life is non- exixtant becaseu of all this- 3 years !!!!
I have had good luck with ice packs and/or hot compresses. I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitus and irritable bowel characterized by chronic constipation. My gastroenterologist believe this symptom is bowel related...I have never discussed it with my urologist, but as suggested by helstrom I will!
corndog,
a urologist diagnoses and treats interstitial cystitis. IC is chronic inflammation of the bladder lining.
I had a Henia last year 2007 this pinched my bladder but gave the symptoms of a Urine Infection, I saw another Urologist who gave me the finger in the rectum examination, between the exam and blood tests the Urologist told me I had the prostate of a 35 year old and had just a 5% chance of ever getting prostate cancer.
So there you have it, I can see no problem in frequent masturbation and yes it may help your problem.
Good Luck.
Could my prostate be calcified and producing a hard prostate and continued rising PSA for the last 6 years with no signs or symptoms? I have masturbated at least 3 to five times a week for the last 11 years because my wife can no longer have intercourse due to an operation and also discovered that masturbation could prevent prostate cancer. How true it is I am not sure but why not just in case it is true.
If your dog is neutered, it will stop the levels of testosterone, which could cause prostate swelling and prostate cancer too. It would take a while to max. effect because he'd still have SOME testosterone in his system for a bit. But it would be a quicker option than medication. But it would be a good option only if he's generally in good fitness and condition for his age. The anaesthetic might stress him if he has heart or lung problems, or some other health problem.
Have you had your prostate checked? There is a connection between testosterone and prostate cancer, BUT please know that it is very rare in men under 40. That would be unlikely. But you should have your prostate checked. There are also a lot of information linking low testosterone to prostatitis and prostate pain. So, yes, it could be involved. But pain is an odd thing where it is felt in one place but coming from somewhere else.
I also had no prostate problems prior nor did I have a family history of Prostate cancer.Towards the end of last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, gleason 10. My psa was 18.1. I have since had the DiVinci surgery (which I fully recommend) and I am not undergoing radiation. None of the existed before Spiriva!!!! I found out that if you are on Spiriva 2 years - 5 years your chances of getting prostate cancer is 50%. If you are over 60 (I am 62) the chances are 90%.
(about three years ago) I was ok for awhile and, now the severe pain has returned....which meant I had to return to my urologist....He gave me elmiron and vesicare to treat the IC....the Elmiron never helped my pain and, the Vesicare took my blood pressure from 113/72 pulse 68 to 153/103 pulse 122...I contacted my urologist and, he stated...that's not true ... neither of these meds would cause your blood pressure to go up...well, I called him back four days later...
Well, management protocol of prostate cancer is not as well defined as other cancers and largely depends on the stage of the cancer. For localized lesions, gamma knife may be a suitable option with results as good as surgery and better results for maintenance of urinary continence. It would be best to discuss the pros and cons and the expected prognosis in detail with your treating oncologist.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
The primary symptom was extreme discomfort in the actual prostate, and a constant desire to urinate to alleviate the pain. I was given antibiotics and the symptoms disappeared fairly rapidly.
Now I am experiencing symptoms that are similar, but slightly different. The tension in my prostate is noticeable, but not as persistent as the first occurrence (assuming that this is also a prostate infection).
In general it is believed that asymptomatic men (which would mean without any symptoms referable to the prostate, and indirectly probably have a smaller prostate size) would also harbor prostate cancer as they age. About a third of such men would, but majority may remain without symptoms and die of other things such as old age.
oral sex (without condom) with a prostitute in mid of January this year. Now in early April, I start to feel subtle pain and discomfort around my prostate / rectum area.
Can it be a STD? No physical sign or discharge from my penis. No pain during urination snd no rashes.
Doctors prescribe various antibiotic 3 times for 5 days but it just won't go away totally. Urine test shows no sign. Later, the doctor said i am imagining things.
Can I catch STD but without obvious sign or symptom?
My husband had a prostate MRI one week ago and the doctor's office called and set up an appointment for next week to, I suppose, reveal the results. I'm assuming if it were good news, he might have just said on the phone without an appointment. My question: is a prostate MRI sufficient to determine cancer or would a biopsy have to be the definitive answer? Can he say "it's cancer" and then set up a treatment plan or do we have one more step?
Some psychologic disorders may cause pain in the prostate in the absence of inflammation ( prostatodynia). Infrequent ejaculation may engorge the prostate and may cause pain.This may also change the character of the semen ( makes it thicker).
Just support your friend for he may be uncomfortable discussing this however, a consult with a physician may be able to determine any underlying conditions and a complete physical examination may be necessary for baseline asssessment.
