Side Effects of HIFU Treatment

Hello everyone! ❤️

My partner is 54 years old and underwent HIFU treatment for prostate cancer approximately 3 months ago (Gleason 3+3, Grade Group 1, pre-treatment PSA: 7.32).

Initially, his semen was brownish after the treatment, but about two weeks ago it became pinkish. He went back to his urologist, who prescribed medication for inflammation. After taking the medication, he experienced a dry orgasm, meaning he reached orgasm but no semen was released. He is also experiencing erectile difficulties.

His urination is completely normal, with no urinary problems.

I would really like to hear from men who have also undergone HIFU treatment.

• Did you experience brown or pink semen after the treatment?

• Did you experience dry orgasms or erectile dysfunction?

• How long did it take for these problems to improve or resolve?

• How did your PSA levels change at 3, 6 and 12 months?

• What were the results of your follow-up MRI scans and biopsies?

• How successful has the treatment been in the long term?

I would be very grateful if you could share your personal experiences.

Thank you so much for your help and support! ❤️
