Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. The treatment and the survival rate are based on the type of organ and stage of the tumor. Get serum PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and an ultrasound abdomen to know the organ involved. A CT (computed tomography) scan is required for proper staging.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Coming to your query, I will answer your questions step by step. For your doubt, could the tip of the catheter be grating against the bladder wall and causing bleeding? Yes, but the chances are minute, and the amount of blood is also less. You can say sometimes clots can appear occasionally, but significant amounts like urine coming in a bag mixed with blood (red urine) is quite rare. It is a known but uncommon problem.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. You do not need to be concerned about prostate cancer at all. It does not occur at this age. Please answer a few of my questions.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Coming back to your query, have you started your own treatment? Although the picture you provided (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is of low quality, I can make out some bluish discoloration near the tip. Is that what you are referring to? Please answer few questions so I can guide you better. Have you had any history of unprotected intercourse or oral sex, or have you encountered a similar problem in the past? Have you seen this kind of discoloration after using condoms before, or can you correlate it to this time? Any history of diabetes or hypertension? I am writing you a prescription for the complaint you described. Tablet Roliflo (Tolterodine and Tamsulosin) once daily for seven days.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Coming back to your query, you need to answer some of my questions first. When the catheter was put how much urine came in the first 15 minutes (did your bag get filled fully, half or what)? Were you on a floral Finastride combination before you were put on a catheter? For what reason you were catheterized? Was it retention of urine? Any abdominal ultrasound done till date which mentions prostate size? Do you have any urinary complaints like frequency, urgency, poor stream, nocturia, dribbling, burning, or micturition before catheter was placed and how long you were having them if any? Is your diabetic status under control? Any HbA1c report? I hope it helps. Thank you..
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. A new curvature is not always Peyronie's disease. It can be unrelated, minor, and non-progressive. But since Peyronie disease (PD) often starts subtly, keeping an eye on progression and getting checked if anything changes is the safest approach.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. You mentioned cystoscopy. According to the history you gave, it seems you have a neurogenic bladder. The normal power of the bladder to evacuate itself went away, and either you have to strain during micturation, or you have to apply suprapubic compression to empty your bladder.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your concern.I will answer your questions. He is always having infections and RBC (red blood cells) in urine, which means whenever he has a UTI (urinary tract infection), pus cells and RBC are bound to come. Sometimes the organism is resistant to oral antibiotics, so we have to switch to injectables.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. This seems to be normal. In a varicocele, there are a number of veins (not single) giving a bag of worms feeling. To treat epididymitis, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory are required, and you need scrotal support (tight underwear).
Hello, Welcome back to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I saw your test reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). This appears to be a uroflowmetry study rather than a full urodynamic study. I will interpret it step by step for better understanding and then provide my overall impression.
