Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / October 2003What's next?
Hello, My Dad seems to be having some difficulty with his prostate. He is 83 years young - very active, otherwise excellent health but tells me that for the past few days he's had blood in his urine, quite a lot he says but no other symptoms. (Rectal exam a few weeks ago showed that it "may" be enlarged. He says he spoke to his GP and he could give him a prescription for antibiotics and that this would clear up the bleeding... Any advice? Has has a follow up appt. the end of this month. Can he (shud he) be expected to go for so long with blood in his urine?? Kiat > Hello, > My Dad seems to be having some difficulty with his prostate.

But before you panic, it could just as well be a broken blood vessel. Happens all the time. Think of a nose bleed -- how many would jump to the conclusion that that is a sure sign of cancer? So don't worry until the experts tell you there is a problem!<G> Derry > >> Hello, > >> My Dad seems to be having some difficulty with his prostate.

I had a rectal exam when I was in my 30's and almost immediately after had blood in my urine followed by pain upon urination. I don't recall any reason for the exam other than it was a thorough medical exam. Wayne > Hello, > My Dad seems to be having some difficulty with his prostate.

I would appreciate your comments on this. Thank you.

Yes, go to http://groups.google.com and click on "sci." then "sci.med." then "sci.med.prostate" then this group name, do a search for PVP and tick the "search only in sci.med.prostate.bph" Plan on spending some time there, there's lots of posts. |
