Hematuria can be classified according to visibility, anatomical origin, and timing of blood during urination. [1] [6]In terms of visibility, hematuria can be visible to the naked eye (termed "gross hematuria") and may appear red or brown (sometimes referred to as tea-colored), or it can be microscopic (i.e. not visible but detected with a microscope or laboratory test).
However, prostatic edema is expected after microwave therapy, and this can lead to a risk of urinary retention. While some protocols suggest leaving a Foley catheter in for up to two weeks in all patients, other urologists are choosing to place a temporary prostatic stent after the first week following treatment. The stent is worn for 30 days ...
Prostate biopsy is a procedure in which small hollow needle-core samples are removed from a man's prostate gland to be examined for the presence of prostate cancer. It is typically performed when the result from a PSA blood test is high. [1] It may also be considered advisable after a digital rectal exam (DRE) finds possible abnormality.
Bleeding (most common). Bleeding may be reduced by pre-treatment with an anti-androgen such as finasteride [6] [7] [8] or flutamide. [citation needed] Clot retention and clot colic. The blood released from the resected prostate may become stuck in the urethra and can cause pain and urine retention. Bladder wall injury, such as perforation (rare).
Hematospermia (also known as haematospermia, hemospermia, or haemospermia) is the presence of blood in the ejaculate. It is most often a benign symptom. [1] Among men age 40 or older, hematospermia is a slight predictor of cancer, typically prostate cancer. [2] No specific cause is found in up to 70% of cases. [3]
Hormonal therapy for prostate cancer targets the pathways the body uses to produce DHT. A feedback loop involving the testicles, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary, adrenal, and prostate glands controls the blood levels of DHT. First, low blood levels of DHT stimulate the hypothalamus to produce gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Before he left the locker room to go to Sunday’s postgame news conference, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid stopped, turning right to move toward Isiah Pacheco’s locker.
Prostate saturation biopsy typically entails 40–80 core samples taken from the prostate under general anesthesia. [1] This technique is used on certain high-risk patients, typically with elevated prostate specific antigen levels, abnormal findings on previous biopsies , or abnormal rectal examinations .
