Common Questions and Answers about Proscar prostate
proscar
my partner has prostate enlargement,everytime he *** has blood do i have possibility getting pregnant?he stop taking proscar coz we having plan having a baby.
I had a history of prostate problems beginning in my late forties. they say my prostate was enlarged plus I had prostitis lots which I think is an infection in the prostate. Finally I was having trouble urinating when I was in my late 50s and they did the roto rooter surgery on me. When I was my late 50s, my psa began increasing slightly from 1.5 to 2.00 then to 3.00 (approximately...I don't remember the exact numbers). Anyway when I was 63 they did a biopsy and I had prostate cancer.
I am 43yrs old and was treated for stage one prostate cancer last year. I had agressive treatment with a combination of external radiation and Brachytherapy. I now on Uromax tablets (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg) which is causing me severe pain when ejaculating. Please advice if there is anything I can as I am still very young.
In such cases, Proscar is sometimes prescribed to shrink both the prostate and the veins. Although hematospermia is not a typical sign of prostate cancer, its presence may indicate an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is exceedingly rare to have prostate cancer before age 40"

However, check if the discoloration is seen repeatedly.
An evaluation by a urologist is essential to rule out any serious conditions.
He said that the Flomax relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate, and the Avodart shrinks the prostate. He said that after a year or so, if the prostate has gone down and reduced the problems, they like to eliminate the Flomax, as it is no longer necessary. Long story short, I now have a prescription for Avodart alone. I realize that it may not reduce the surgery risk, but one less drug is a good thing.
BUT in the past 2 years my sensation on oregasm is VERY decreased, and inthe past year I notice a much smaller amount of semen. I DO have a SLIGHLY enlarged prostate, I DO have pre- diabetes, I do take Verapamil, and a small dose of Atenolol . I do take PROSCAR. HOWEVER NO new medications were added i nthe pats YEAR and the DECREASE in amount of semen and sensation has been during this YEAR. I dont think its the medications. I DONT smoke. I DONT drink.
I have a slightly enalrged prostate for years.nothing new. My PSA level is totally normal. Examination of prostate (physical) revelaed no alarm. Blood tests in general are normal. I have hypogonadism and use AXIRON..but the loss of sensation extends to SEXCUAL as well (almost no feeling there and DIFFICULT to ejaculate.if i do almost nothing comes out. What is going on? NO ONE suspects cancer (A pevious micitrition study in 2014 revelaed a sdcarred bladder neck..
The second possible problem could be an enlarged prostate (BPH) causing obstruction of the urethra resulting in retention. BPH usually occurs slowly over decades and I suspect your father was not emptying his bladder completely 3 months prior to the retention episode. This problem (BPH) occurs in over 80% of men. An Alpha blocker (Urimax) is the appropriate drug to try. The question is what to do when the Urimax and prolonged catheter drainage do not reestablish normal voiding?
I am a 69 year old male with BPH, and a father who had prostate cancer for 15 years, but did not die from it. I have had two bouts of acute prostatitis causing complete retention in the last 7 years, one requiring catheterization. My PSA averages around 2.0, and I take Proscar and Cardura daily. My BPH symptoms are fairly mild causing only about one or two nights a month of nocturia, reduced urine flow, and hardly ever the feeling of urgency.
I have sought out a urologist who said he detected a high count of white blood cells. I was prescribed procrit or proscar for an extended period of time. I did not complete the required dose because it wasn't helping. I now i have infected my sex partner on a couple of different occassions. she gets treated and cured but i can not. My symptoms include burning and an itching feeling on the tip of my penis.
I am 60 and have tried literally every medication, antibiotic, and Proscar with no success for the past three years. The pain only dissipates during sleep. I know of one surgeon who performs Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for chronic prostatitis but the cost is not covered by insurance. As part of the surgery the lymph nodes in the prostate are removed as well as the entire prostate. Does anyone know of a male who has had this surgery and it alleviated this neck pain?
I went to a urologist...checked my psa.. 0.50, physical examination of my prostate normal..urine tests, culture and yeast urine test..normal..the urologist said to me you do not have a prostate problem but i am going to give you this drug called proscar anyway..this will cure any problem that you do have..Well it didn't....same problem after ejaulation only. This only happens 12 hours after ejaculation..otherwise i'm fine..no problems urinating, no pain.
I already had a question partly on this theme but now I have more background information and am really puzzled. I have been several times in prostate biopsies during the last less than 4 years, altogether more than 60 needles. In April 2008 the last 20 of these biopsies where taken and one positive core was found from the left side, showing 1 mm and 2 mm cancer nodes (Gleason 3+3). The right side did not include cancer in these biopsies.
Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.
s for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.
t see a need for a follow-up test and actually set my next visit for a year out. He said the prostate can actually get smaller but did not do a digital to confirm. He looked over my short list of supplements and didn't comment. I have made no lifestyle changes during this time, having started on a high quality near vegetarian diet in early 9/12 due to cardiac issues.
observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity. Not sure what, if any, benefit this would provide.

What is likelihood this rise represents Ca, and what is next suggestion?
Thanks!
5 days later he had prostrate problems and ended up leaving the hospital with a catheter. He ended up with an infection and after taking proscar and flowmax for 5 months (and using the single use catheter) he went in for an opening of the urethra. He since has had recurrent bladder infections, terrible gas and bloating. He is still on nitrofurantion (2 pills a day for 5 days) one pill a day for 30. He has no relief. He is up every night with terrible pains.
