Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / April 2005After PVP
I underwent a PVP a week ago and still seem to have a swollen prostate which seems to restrict flow. Is this common? What do you do to eliminate the swollen prostate symptom?  SignatureX-No-Archive: yes >I underwent a PVP a week ago and still seem to have a swollen prostate >which seems to restrict flow. Is this common? What do you do to >eliminate the swollen prostate symptom? Swollen tissue is normal. I had it. It took about a month to go away. Now I piss like a race horse. My doc gave me a list of instructions to follow. Drink a lot of water. Use stool softeners to avoid constipation which will irritate the prostate. Avoid lifting heavy weights. Forget sex. After a month you can do all these things. >>I underwent a PVP a week ago and still seem to have a swollen prostate >>which seems to restrict flow. Is this common?

AFter about 2 weeks everything was pretty much back to normal. Kept away from any activity for a month. Now in week 5 I am slowly getting back into the physical stuff, making sure to take it easy Good luck Zork Tony's advice is good. But be patient. Recovery time varies with each patient.

The swelling is the inflamatory healing reaction in the remaining prostate Try taking Homeopathic ARNICA tablets (not tincture) 6c ............... 6 times a day it will soon speed up the healing process For about 2 weeks after my PVP in August 2004, I had a large soft swelling at the base of the penis that was not painful and did not seem to affect anything. I took it to be swollen from large instruments being repeatedly inserted during the op. I had a long op on a 135g prostate. It was where I imagine there is a bend in the urethra.The swelling went away after 2 weeks. Richie >I underwent a PVP a week ago and still seem to have a swollen prostate >which seems to restrict flow. Is this common? What do you do to >eliminate the swollen prostate symptom? I had a PVP 6 days ago and still have a very weak stream. No bleeding. No urgency. I am glad to hear others are having the same problem because I thought something was wrong. I am now 2 wks after PVP. Urine flow has gotten better but I am still having to take Flomax and all I can equate to right now is I am about the same as I was before the PVP with the Flomax. Sure hope I see these great improvements soon that everyone is talking about. I am due for my 2 weeks follow up in a couple of days. Interested to see what the URO says. I am almost 6 wks.post PVP. My urine flow is much better with the Flomax but if I discontinue it, even for one day, my urine flow starts getting weaker. All I can say it is a little better without the Flomax that before the PVP because I could not go at all without the Floxmax before the PVP. My URO has scheduled me for another appointment on 4/28 and if I am still having this problem he wants to scope me again to see if there is a blockage. I am beginning to wonder if some of my meds are causing the urinary retention instead of BHP. |
