Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / January 2004PVP+28 days
All's well up here in sunny Scotland, though I am experiencing urgency! And there was I suggesting it was all in the mind and I was in complete control! I had no urgency or frequency prior to PVP, just very poor flow most of the time. Flow continues to be GREAT and it continues to be a surprise just how good it it. There is usually an initial pause which subconsciously prepares me for the old dribble, then the flow starts without a problem and it is a wonderful relief over past sufferings. Up until now I have been getting up on average once per night since PVP though last night I did not. Nothing to do with the seasonal festivities because I have learnt to avoid them<G>. Went to bed around 10.45pm and got up, after a lie in, around 9pm this morning, then had my first pee since retiring. Prior to PVP I would seldom get up at night. Apart from the urgency, life has been restored to what it was five years ago. I also feel much more alert since being off Flomax. Sorry, I did warn you all that things were so good these reports would be boring. Derry Hi, I'm 6 weeks post PVP and have much urgency during the day. Seems to be related to bowel movements. Things seem to clog up afterwards with pain at end of stream. Late afternoons, evenings and nights are OK. Good stream, little pain or urgency. Anyone out there notice this relation to bowel movements? It's not surprising given the proximity of the Prostate to the rectum!

I noticed that straining my abdomen would increase urgency. In my simple mind, I imagined that physical activity would rip the healing tissue and cause it to become irritated by urine. To me, urgency and irritation was the same feeling. Give it time and enjoy the flow. Fred Henzi Yes, my own experience tends to support a link between bowel movements and post-op bleeding when you pee. Keeping things soft helps minimise straining (I'm using docusate with senna), but as Marcus says the raw prostate is just next to the rectum and it's not surprising that it reacts to even minor adjacent pressure. If we could give up bowel movements for a couple of weeks after surgery we'd probably heal quicker (and flying pigs would be an interesting sight too!) Similarly, I noticed for a few days after both my biopsies that bowel movements triggered bleeding on urination.
