Urinary track shutdown, post surgery
|
|
|
| Dean,
I had spinal surgery for sciatica Tues afternoon, and came home from
hospital Fri afternoon. Had weak stream with long pauses in between,
thinking I was finished before it would start again and again. This slowly
improved on the third & fourth day, but is still (today Sunday) not what it
was pre-op. Particularly, the end of the stream is slow and then a slow
drip. The anesthesiology assistant said that it couldn't be from the
anesthetic. The surgeon said that it couldn't be from the surgery.
After two PVP's, and paying the price of retrograde ejaculation, I want my
good flow back. Dean, Which part of the operation do you think caused your
"shutdown".

| Hi Ron,
In trying to answer your question. They told me the anesthetic caused
it however I think the root cause is still the enlarged prostate. I've had
one PVP about a year ago which I'm still trying to get over. This time I was
in for a heart pacemaker and cardioversion, which was successful.I'm hoping
Ron that your retro grade will get better eventually, mine has improved and
from what I hear if there is improvement it will cure itself over time but
don't know for sure if this is true, it is encouraging though best of luck
to you and good health. Dean,

We're glad that your operation was a success. What is a cardioversion? My
flow has improved in the last 3 or 4 days, but still not as good as before
the back surgery last Tuesday. Ejaculate, post 2nd PVP (last December) is
still zero, & quality of orgasm is considerably diminished.
I thought we could get some more details of your situation.
Wishes to you for a quick healing,
Ron

| Ron,
There is two kinds of conversion for a heart that is out of rhythm due to
atrial fibrillation, one is chemical and the other is electro conversion
where they try and shock your heart back into rhythm. They shocked me three
times and it didn't convert it back to a normal sinus rhythm but they have
since done it with a drug called "Betapace" Before PVP I had three episodes
of total shutdown requiring a catheter which they assured me that PVP would
take care of that. After the heart surgery it seemed as if it was the same
old scenario all over again I got up numerous times trying to urinate with
no success just a couple of drops ,finally in desperation I asked for a 5 mg
Hytrin and told them if that didn't work I wanted to be catherized after
about an hour I was able to urinate , what a wonderful thing that was. I had
already forgot about the pacemaker that had just been installed to much
agony in the urinary track but I'm like you I still don't have the good
stream I had before , hopefully it will get better, hope yours gets back to
where it was before or even better. Dean,

| Ron, If your DHT is above the maximum range, it stands to reason that if
your meds for DHT was insufficient and if the rest of the hormone blood work
did not reveal your alternate causes of the extra-ordinarily high DHT, the
prostate would likely keep on growing...and on and on...(But, I'm not a
medical doctor...just common sense tells me that.) What did your uro say
about all your blood work DHT, Estradiol, DHEA, SBHG, Cortisol, etc. And
if he didn't do the blood work or couldn't answer your questions, you likely
went to see an endocrinologist so are likely following the regimen laid out
by the endo? (I'm not a doctor.) But those are key issues/questions, in my
non-medical opinion. Wishing you the best of luck.
