Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / February 2008Post PVP blood clots
I had PVP three years ago with semi-satisfactory results. Suddenly, this past week I started passing small blood clots. Has it happened to anyone, years after PVP? I am scheduled to see my Urologist this week. Thanks. I just went through a PVP on 23 January of last year, so I'm afraid I cannot provide any years-after experience; however, you stated that your results were "semi-satisfactory". Can you expand a bit on this? TIA! >I had PVP three years ago with semi-satisfactory results.

Initial results were satisfactory but as time went by the frequency, urgency and sream were getting worst. I was at a point where I was getting up about four times a night. My bladder was so sleepy and it did not want to void. Then I discovered a trick that cut the night time bathroom visits to just one! I am getting up, turn on the lights walk around for a couple of minutes and then I go the bathroom and pee standing up. I used to sit on the toilet before. It looks to me that the bladder empties almost entirely. Then I go back to bed and do not have to pee for the rest of night. In day time I am OK, I can take long walks without looking for the bushes. I could not do this before PVP. Any way about the blood clots, I visited my Urologist who scoped me and found a scar from the PVP and a narrow opening in my prostate. He is sure that he can fix it with a laser procedure. I am scheduled for April 1 and I will post then. Andy Thaks for this information; it's a little peculiar that the diagnosis is a scar, since the laser is supposed to vaporize tissues, leaving no opportunity for scarring...but the blood clotting seems to remain unexplained. At any rate, I wish you good luck on your repeat attempt... >> I just went through a PVP on 23 January of last year, so I'm afraid I >> cannot provide any years-after experience; however, you stated that >> your results were "semi-satisfactory".

Off and on for the past three years I have passed clots and some blood. A couple of months ago I passed a lot of blood and other ugly looking stuff and then the prostate started to feel better. The DR. did a cat scan and shoved the camera up the urethra for a look. There was a lot of scar tissue in the prostate from the PVP. In fact there was so much he could not find the hole into the bladder to look inside. He was concerned about bleeding from the bladder. The inside of the bladder does not show up very well on a cat scan. He decided to wait a couple of months to see if I have any blood in my urine. I have checked daily with some dip sticks, for that purpose, and it has been ok. Now we just wait and see. He also suggested he could do a TURP and clean up the mess inside the prostate. I am not interest in that as long as I can go! Bill. >I had PVP three years ago with semi-satisfactory results.

If it is that bad, how the hell are you able to pee...Pete > He was concerned about bleeding from the bladder. The inside of the > bladder does not show up very well on a cat scan. He decided to wait [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> I am scheduled to see my Urologist this week. >> Thanks. The Doc also asked me if I could pee. I can pee OK. What I saw on the display looked to me like thin pieces of flesh that could move around like clothes on a clothes line. There probably was a loose flap covering the bladder hole. I think another thing was this Doc does not like PVP. He had said a couple of years ago, during one clot passing episode, with a 150 gram prostate I should have had open surgery not PVP. When I would ask the Doc that did the surgery about the clots and bleeding he always said "that's OK don't worry about it"! That is why I am having a second opinion.
