Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / December 2004PVP day 6
Well, a little bit of one step backwards. PVP 6 days ago, all going great. A little bit of discomfort when I pee, but no big deal. During the day, seems like I have to go pretty often, but flow is good. Not too much in the bladder (I think....will get an ultrasound in a couple of weeks) but the 'urge' is there without to much action. Only get up once a nite. Today had a little blood and a couple of small clots, havn't had that since day #1. I think it is probably because I have started taking my Plavix again. All in all....everything seems to be coming along just fine. Zork > Well, a little bit of one step backwards. PVP 6 days ago, > all going great.

Sounds good to me. Bits of blood clots and sometimes quite red pee are common for weeks. I had a few instances of this again 3 weeks later and then for a couple of weeks 3 MONTHS later. I am now 4 months after PVP and at 3 months passed a big clot for no reason,and then 4 or 5 occasions of blood tinge gradually reducing over 2 weeks.Nothing for about 3 weeks now. daddyo >Well, a little bit of one step backwards.

Uro said it would 'be a while', but hasn't elaborated yet. Have an appt after the first of the year. REALLY am missing golf, but refuse to even think about it for a while.

I did the odd strenuous thing which was unavoidable after 2 weeks and got away with it. You can walk as much as you like but I would avoid swinging a golf club yet. Maybe you can caddy ! None of my blood episodes were related to activities. I have also read that 3 weeks and 3 months are common milestones for healing. richie >So, how long was it before you could return to normal physical >activities ? ?

But it also depends on how big your prostate was, how long the surgery etc. & how gentle the swimming. Totally depends on individual situation.

Richie >Any restrictions on swimming? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> caddy ! None of my blood episodes were related to activities. I have >> also read that 3 weeks and 3 months are common milestones for healing. I stayed away from swimming for about one month. I was concerned about infection. > Any restrictions on swimming? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> caddy ! None of my blood episodes were related to activities. I have >> also read that 3 weeks and 3 months are common milestones for healing. I'm on day 10 of PVP. Much like you. A few tiny drops of diluted blood at the start of urination. Two days ago, so at day 8 I passed a few chunks. Flow is now less than the 2 days after surgery but way better than before PVP. Some discomfort sitting. Some sense of urgency-I think it is because prostate is still somewhat raw from having to shovel a whack of snow recently (due to family emergency during a major snowfall) and that set me back on my healing--drips of blood returned following that exercise. I am off my Xatrol about a week now and am thrilled. Energy has come back. Dizziness gone. > Well, a little bit of one step backwards. PVP 6 days ago, > all going great.
