Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2003Seeding question
Have any of you guys who optioned for seeding to remove the prostate had enough problems unrinating that you had to use a catheter and for how long? I understand that the radiation from the seeds can cause some men's prostates to swell during early days or weeks of the procedure. --Carroll Carroll, I was seeded six months ago with 117 Palladium seeds. As typical, prostate swelled, but never had to catheterize. I found that sitting in a hot tub of water provided all the relief that I needed. Good luck.

Was only catheratized during the procedure, but it was removed when I left the hospital and never had a problem urinating, not even the first night. I did take my Flomax for a couple of months, and that no doubt helped. John --------------------- > Carroll, I was seeded six months ago with 117 Palladium seeds.

But he never needed to be cathed for it. He did take Hytrin round the clock and not just at bedtime to keep his stream going. His prostate swelled and apparently put pressure on a nerve that controlled the bladder sphincter. (He also took a great deal of Naprosyn to try to control the swelling.) He had one heck of a time for months afterwards but it has finally subsided.
