When diagnosed with PC in 2006 and under went a Radical Prostatectomy followed by radiation treatment some 6 months later and had time to reflect back on the 6 months i realised just how relevant were the comments expressed in this article.

After being diagnosed with PC i did a google search on the subject and was astounded at the then lack of information available at that time, but now every one is offering every thing from snake oil to plant cures so it is difficult for any newbee to get the correct information.

So while GP's try to keep us informed they just dont seam to get the whole thing in order to realy help, so they are the first line only in the first stage of PC.

I found the greatest advice only from my Urologist, who did have time to explain the whole concept of PC and treatment options available. The only fault i found was his figures dealing with ED and Incontinence, also leaving out the fact that after a RP one is left with a shortened Penis which makes it difficult to use on's penis to pee normally.

Hi Doctor,

My 65 years old husband is on Flow max and he has hematospermia since last 3 months.

His urologist says it will go by itself.

His PSA in december was 5 his biopsy result in Dec 2009 was negetive.

 

I did not find anywhere how to ask question from you that is why I am writing here.

Hematospermia is a self limited condition. Many times it may be associated either with a prostate infection or possible stones that are within the prostate.  If the condition lasts longer than 6-8 weeks, I would seek consultation with a Urologist.
