Question 1

could my prostate be pinching my urethra?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As a man ages, the prostate gland enlarges and causes a blockage to the outflow of urine from the bladder. This can be treated with medications. If medications fail, then surgery is the next step depending on the amount of blockage and urinary symptoms present.

Question 2

Yes: That's why enlarged prostates can cause obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms like straining to void, incomplete emptying, etc.

Question 3

Question 4

can a urologist perform a prostate biopsy at the same time he scopes the urethra?

Accepted Answer

Possible, but...: Theoretically, this combination is possible, but in practice, it is not advisable because the need for prostate biopsy is judged by changing psa with the finding of digital rectal exam (dre) on prostate, and concern for urination from prostate is usually and sufficiently enough by history, checking residual urine, etc. But, you can ask urologist for priority and sequence of care...

Best wish...

Prostate: It enters through the prostate. Remember the prostate is like a donut. The donut hole is part of the urethra, called the prostatic urethra.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Your prostate circles your urethra like a donut.  When it swells it does restrict flow, but it generally occurs over long periods of time and can be subtle in onset.  Very rare to occur in someone your age.

Question 7

i  had  a biopsy half  the  prostate  is  benign  cyst  the  other  half  is  cancer  gleason  9    can  i  have  a pvp  to  open  the  urethra  up ?

Accepted Answer

Prostate cancer: You could have a pvp or TURP but what treatment are you considering to definitively treat your cancer. High grade aggressive cancer needs aggressive treatment if it is confined to the prostate. Radiation or radical prostatectomy is indicated if your staging workup is negative(ct/bone scan) if this has already spread, hormonal therapy should be started soon good luck.

i am a male 70 years with prostate issues and i am on omnic ocas since 3 years and its ok. my problem is that i feel burn in the urethra after swimming either in the pool or in the sea. please advise?

Accepted Answer

: This is unusual. There is a possibility that a little water gets in to irritate the urethra thru the opening (meatus) and the constituents like chlorine or something in sea water does that. Choices  ! stop the activity 2 try putting some Vaseline at the meats before swimming . Good luck
