Hi - I am new to the forum, I came across it searching for information.
I am 53 and have an enlarged prostate with elevated PSA. I have had one Biopsy, followed by an MRI and last week had a template biopsy. to investigate lisions on the gland. I take tamsulosin every day.
This brings me onto my question to the forum.
It is now a week and I am just seeing a reduction in the blood in my urine and the excrutiating pain when urinating. I have been back to my GP twice and have been given antibiotics as a precaution and the advice that I should expect discomfort for up to two weeks resulting from the trauma of the procedure. The nurse that discharged me from the hospital said I could be back at work after two days.
Whilst the pain is subsiding it is being replaced with difficulty urinating and a sense of a constantly full bladder with a dull pain in my penis and groin area. The flow of urine has decreased dramatically since the procedure.
Am I expecting too much or is this what I should expect ? Knowing what others experienced would be a great help.
Thanks
John
