Millions of men experience prostate problems every year. But what defines prostate enlargement and how does the prostate grow as it enlarges?...

Q: bleeding post prostiva rf therapy

I have two concerns related to my Medtronic RF prostate treatment (TUNA) of one month ago. I still experience a small amount of blood in my urine. I experience slightly more blood when I have a bowel movement (less than a teaspoonful). I hope this will gradually reduce but how long will it take ? I am more concerned with my condition of blood (not bright red) in my ejaculation. I was not able to find a database that indicated related (TUNA)bleeding with any indications of percentages of post operative cessation of urethral/prostate bleeding associated with my prostiva RF therapy. I will bring up these issues with my Doctor tomorrow but I would greatly appreciate additional professional feedback.

I posted this question yesterday, no replies, as yet. My doctor has informed me that the bleeding is routine and it will stop, eventually ! I was given another appointment for 1 month from now--- I guess I will survive !
