Hello all.
I can't find anyone else who seems to have had this problem. I've posted on here before as I'm sure some of you will remember.
My other half had his prostate biopsy in June 2014 age 57. A few weeks later diagnosed with prostate cancer (Gleason 3+3) shortly after the biopsy he started getting pains in his prostate and into his left testicle. Not bad skin but an ache. The MRI showed prostatitis presumably caused by the biopsy. Anyway, he took antibiotics almost constantly from July through to January when he underwent brachytherapy.
He suffered many, many months of pain in his prostate, burning when peeing for months and months following the brachy. All water infection tests come back negative.
It is 18 months after the biopsy now and one year after the brachytherapy. He has been on antibiotics on and off all year. He's just been given another months supply as he has a constant ache in the prostate and left testicle. He often gets a lot of burning on peeing too. The pain started after biopsy but burning started after brachy.
Has anyone ever heard of these problems? We are seeing the consultant in March. Should I put my foot down and say we need to find out what is causing these problems? The consultant said it was basically just unlucky.
If I were him I'd be unhappy taking antibiotics for so long. It does get better on them but a few weeks after all the problems resume.
If anyone has heard of this before or has any suggestions they would be greatly received. Thanks.
