Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2004Bleeding like crazy 16 months post PVP
I had a PVP in July of 1993. I thought I was all over it. Yesterday I helped my girl friend move into her new town house. I ended up carrying heavy Japanese teak furniture up three flights of stairs. The next I passed a big clot followed by a lot of deep red urine. The next urination was pink and the subsequent were normal. I called doctor Lin, my urologist, and left a message telling what happened. I thought I would be able to lift what ever I wanted to that long after surgery. I'm 65 and had a very big prostate. Maybe 65 is too old to be carrying big loads up steps. My legs and back are OK but the blood frightened me. Dave > I had a PVP in July of 1993. I thought I was all over it.

They tell me that he is on vacation but will give me a call when he gets back on Monday. I hope it was just a one time thing caused by lifting furniture that weighs much more then I do. I would not like to have anything shoved into me unless it is absolutely needed. >> That wants properly checking out > Dont ignore it You are a pretty strong guy-did you life properly with your knees etc...and still get all that clot deal..

I'm an active hiker and routinely climb high mountains with a 35 to 45 pound back pack. My legs are very strong but apparently that that does not qualify me as a furniture mover. I'm tall and lean. I think people that move heavy furniture should be built like fire plugs, I'm not. I did lift with my legs. My back, body and arms never hurt me. I just peed blood the next day. Dave > You are a pretty strong guy-did you life properly with your knees > etc...and > still get all that clot deal.. > Michael Dave, You obviously injured yourself. If the bleeding has stopped you are probably okay now. But realize that even though you might be peeing like a 20 year old your no longer 20. Picking up heavy furniture is not a good idea regardless when you had a PVP, if ever. Take it easy on yourself. Patrick > I'm not as strong as I thought I was.

My legs and back are OK but the blood frightened me. > Dave The problem with performing heavy exercise after 35+ is that many people have partially occluded coronary arteries. If the heart doesn't get enough blood, you have a heart attack. This doesn't happen with the young. Their coronary arteries aren't clogged with plaque so the heart gets all the blood it needs since the heart has first call on blood needs. Not to mention hernias and herniated discs. > I had a PVP in July of 1993. I thought I was all over it. Yesterday I > helped my girl friend move into her new town house.

But that does not cover a 65 year old dude carring teak furniture up three flights of stairs. Suggest you get some place without stairs--lighter furniture-- a new girlfirend or any or all of these items. The old story comes to mine of a old bull with two young bulls standing on a hill looking down on a herd of cows. One young bull said to the other lets run down there and nail one of them cows. The old bull said go ahead I,ll walk down and get them all. See you doctor in case you messed something up lifting. Best of Luck Terrmac Thanks for the laugh Terrmac. You made me laugh so hard at myself that I got tears in my eyes. I'm still bewildered why anyone 60 years old would sell a rambler and buy a three story town house. She is a remarkably powerful, solidly built woman. When I told her this place needs an elevator, she replied this will get us in shape for climbing the mountains in Peru next spring. I just decided that I'm going to hire a sherpa to carry my backpack next time. Or maybe I'll let my girlfriend carry my gear as will as hers. Dave >> I had a PVP in July of 2003.

The bleeding was a one time thing. Also I should mention that I took two Advil pills after the heavy lifting to prevent sourness the next day. Advil is a blood thinner and could have contributed to the bleeding. I'm still waiting for Dr. Lin to call me back and I'll report what he says. I was told by Dr. Nseyo that my prostate was in excess off 150 grams. He told me that their equipment can only measure prostates up to 150 grams. He went on to tell me that mine was the largest prostate that he has ever seen! I still consider the operation done by Dr. Lin, a total success. While I had retro for a while, I recently discovered that symptom has reverted back to normal operation.

I had PVP 18 months ago. A few weeks ago I felt soreness in my prostate for almost a week, then had bloody urine. I went to my urologist (not the one who did my PVP) and he looked in my bladder and saw raw skin and irritation near the bladder neck. He said he had seen that in people who have had PVP. Scar tissue can rupture or the lining of the prostate can be irritated even 18 months after PVP. I passed clots for about 5 days, then it stopped. I have no symptoms now. However, blood in the urine should always be checked out to rule out other possibly serious conditions. I just got a call back from Dr. Lin. He said that if you lifted something very heavy that bleeding can happen. I should not be concerned if it only happened once and stopped. He said, "If it happens again, call me. In the meantime you should have your PSA measured. He asked about my stream size and retro. I told him that my retro just cleared up and now works normally. I told him that I have noticed that my stream size gets smaller if I refain from sex for a week. He said that this is because of "congestion" in the gland and I should not let it build up. He still remembered me, and told me that a someone on this NG that I refered to him came to him and is also doing well now. Dave |
