Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / December 20037 weeks post PVP Florida Update
It will be 7 weeks tomorrow and I can finally say that everything is great! The bleeding and the burning stopped last week after deciding to back off of all heavy physical activity for two weeks. The burning was caused by an infection that was treated with antibiotics. The bleeding was caused,I suppose, by not allowing enough time for healing. I only have to get up once a night, if at all. The stream is strong and the volume is up to 400 mls. Frequency does not seem to be a problem, however if I have to go, I had better get there soon. Retrograde ejaculation is not evident and in fact, the volume seems to be much greater. I strongly recommend the PVP procedure but advice that limited physical activity, after the the procedure, be in effect for at least 3 weeks. Frank > I strongly recommend the PVP procedure but advice that > limited physical activity, after the the procedure, be in > effect for at least 3 weeks. > Frank Frank, What do you classify as limited physical activity? I can't really imagine a day when I wouldn't be doing something physical! Of course, my PVP is scheduled for the middle of the shooting season (3rd December). The woodcock have just arrived on migration and there is snow on the hills which should push them down to my ground. This is a big thing around here and the ideal conditions only coincide every few years. And they say there are no adverse side effects to a PVP... :( Derry > > I strongly recommend the PVP procedure but advice that > > limited physical activity, after the the procedure, be in [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > really imagine a day when I wouldn't be doing something > physical! No lifting objects over 10 lbs.(4.5kg), or walking faster than a normal pace 3 to 4 mph (5.6 or so kmph) no sexual activity, aerobic exercise, climbing hills, those sorts of activites. Or anything that might cause bleeding in the prostate while it is healing. Jack > Of course, my PVP is scheduled for the middle of the shooting > season (3rd December).

My Doctor told me that after the catheter was removed, that I could go back to what ever I did before the procedure......NOT! > > Of course, my PVP is scheduled for the middle of the shooting > > season (3rd December).

He told me in post op about an hour after the PVP whnn he came to see how I was doing. As I recall his words about the bleeding were more like, your prostate will take at least 3 weeks to heal so don't do anything for three weeks that will aggravate it, like and then he named a bunch of things, most of which I mentioned above. I remember one of them was long car or plane trips. If I had to, on a plane be sure to walk up and down the asile of the plane or lay down in the back seat of a car and stop every two hours and walk. He also said if I "goofed up" and did something to cause the bleeding to be more than just pink color in the urine, to be sure and rest or lay in bed for part of the next couple days. Jack > As I recall his words about the bleeding were more > like, your prostate will take at least 3 weeks to heal so > don't do anything for three weeks that will aggravate it, I suppose that is sensible though I am going to find it difficult to comply. Rules out about everything I normally do as a matter of course! Derry > > As I recall his words about the bleeding were more > > like, your prostate will take at least 3 weeks to heal so [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Derry Derry if you fail to follow the advice and the rules you will be the one who suffers for it Take it easy mate ........3 weeks being very careful in what you do is truly much better than weeks of bleeding or needing to be back in hospital with a major problem > > I strongly recommend the PVP procedure but advice that > > limited physical activity, after the the procedure, be in [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Derry Derry, I answered your question yesterday but it did not get posted. I recommend that you do not jogg, ride a bike(seat too close to the prostate), walk too fast, golf, pick up heavy objects, have sex. My doctor told me that bleeding was a non-issue...easy for him to say! Frank Wonderful! What was your frequency and volume pre-op? Jim W. > It will be 7 weeks tomorrow and I can finally say that everything is > great! [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > 3 weeks. > Frank In terms of activity, I think it is indivual. I started jogging after the 11th day and have had no bleeding. The bleeding stopped the 10th day. After 4 weeks I do have minor discomfort during the start and end of a voiding period. Nick |
