Prostate cancer

Honestly you men are wimps, lol. It is excruciating though , doesnt last for long but doesnt half bring tears to the eyes, ha
Couldn’t stabbing pains up the jacksey be farmer giles. They are painful.
 
I just put my hand up there and give the rogue muscle a little tickle. Usually does the job. Can get a bit messy ;)
Painkillers are useless as by the time they kick in, the spasm has eased off. Must be more common than I thought.
you fist your own arse to ease pain, wow! what the fuck have you had up there?
 
This is very different , it is a deep spasm which is absolute agony , only lasts a few minutes to an hour maybe and like others have said once or twice a year
An hour? Wow, that must be agony, poor you:(
 
That’s good News. I’m hoping for a similar outcome.
I’m currently having urology investigations to find the cause of recurrent urine infections - which are becoming more frequent (Four so far this year) but milder in nature.My symptoms are similar to those of an over-active bladder. Urgency and frequency but no burning sensation and no dribbles/hesitancy in these latest bouts. (Very) thorough prostate exam by Urologist who advised slightly enlarged prostate but said as normal for my age(68) and pronounced it healthy. My GP suggested bladder camera having already been ultrasound checked and cleared for stones and voiding issues. Never a trace of blood in urine and have been getting infections for 15 years or so. Used to be one every year or two.
Bit of a mystery at the moment.
Japs eye meets camera next Monday !
Also have to say this is a great thread in helping getting men to address these issues.
Could be a urethral stricture which can slow your pee down and cause you not to empty your bladder fully which results in a feeling of urgency to go and infections.

Good luck with the camera, the thought of it is far worse than the procedure

Thanks.
Not looking forward to it, but know lots of people go through far worse !
Main thing is to find out what’s going on and get it sorted/treated.
 
Had my biopsy yesterday - results in 10-14 days.

All went well although I’m a little sore and in a bit of a fug from the general anaesthetic, so I’ve got a day off work today.

Although not officially diagnosed yet, the consultant has sent me home with my first set of hormone tablets, so I guess the treatment starts now. He said it wasn’t vital to start them immediately but as I’d voiced concern about the delay between initial blood test and starting treatment, he was happy to start with them now.

Apart from diagnosis, there’s one more hoop to jump through: the bone scan I had a couple of weeks ago showed a small amount of uptake (of the radioactive tracer used in the scan) in the skull. Clearly not related to the prostate but the radiographer wants me to have a CT scan so they can check it’s nothing (which the consultant believes will be the case).
