Hematuria

[Pappy]

Perhaps it is just the normal procedure? I just went through the same routine. Hematuria... Negative CT, still did a Cystoscopy and a biopsy. I did not find it that unpleasant...much like a foley insertion. Though in a male it might feel more invasive.

I have had a Cystocopy several times due to a enlarged prostrate gland. Was scared to death the first time the dr. Did it, but the procedure really isn't too bad. The hardest part is getting pass the enlarged gland. You need to relax which is hard to do.

Just curious, but how high is the PSA?

Just curious, but how high is the PSA?

His PSA was 5.4 Last year it was 5.3.... however I guess the normal is under 4.0 so our GP has pushed the panic button and told him to see a urologist..

NOW.. because of what we thought was hematuria, he had a CT urogram.. which was normal.. but the urologist wants to do a cysto in his office to look inside his bladder.

We asked if he would biopsy the prostate during that procedure... but he will not.. Even though that's how prostates are removed... he is going to do a biopsy via the rectum on 7/9. Don't know why two separate procedures.. He said because of complications, I say for more money.
