I had Dr Sandeep do this procedure in Apr. 2017. It went very well, no problems. Over time, since we only did one side of the glad I found I needed to take Flomax again. Plan to due the procedure again to hit the other side of the gland to get off the Flomax. Nothing worse than having to depend on a pill to pee.

A chest x-ray just revealed pulmonary nodules in my lungs. What scares me the most is I've been a smoker for over 40 years. My father both grandfathers were all diagnosed with cancer at 59 which is my age now....... Hopefully, I'm the exception L O L
You'll remove part of the urethra too, but that regrows? And just one side of the prostate or the entire interior? How much is left. With cancer will it remove part of that in the interior.
UC health in Colorado dragged it out 9 months to even do a bronchoscopy for a 13mm spiculated mass in my lower lobe. Till just after my insurance ended
I had a lung nodule detected 2 yrs ago, very small. Fast forward to today and it grew was cancerous and I had a lobectomy three weeks ago. I’m still very sore but the upside is it did not spread and I’m done with treatment. I credit my primary doctor for setting up CT scans six years ago because of my smoking history. As far as I’m concerned he saved my life. Also during the the treatment to verify cancer a PET scan found a 80% blockage in left main artery to my heart and within two weeks I had a stent inserted.
I just had a low dose CT scan done as a cancer screening only (no symptoms) former smoker. All is good. This Dr. reminds me of the Pulmonologist I consulted with prior to the scan, who took the time to explain that nodules are common, and if found there is a good chance I will be asked to have a re-scan in a year or so to monitor. That's exactly what happened. He put me at ease before the scan and spoke to me like a human being; not a "patient." So very grateful for Physicians who have not lost their humanity!
Thank you dr Hograth for reviewing my ct and xray for my lung nodgles. They still dont know what it is im still waiting other test results i would say by the time i start chemo i might be 5 months away😢😢😢😢😢so im taking some herbs with diet control.
Went for an MRI about my thoracic disks, came back with bad news for my spine, and then was told about my lung nodules. This video helped me question whether it's something to worry about. Though I have a history of lung diseases in my family, I'm hopeful that it's benign
Hi everyone I had all of this done. And yes I do have cancer lung cancer this September the 5th I am having surgery done. I don’t know if this is right or not but I’m going through surgery. May God be all of us that’s fighting cancer.🙏🏻🕊️
I had PAE 12 days ago. My size was 80, I am amazed because I feel everything is normal after 10 days. Carefree peeing. Hard to imagine it improves more - I am already totally satisfied. The reason for my surprise is they could only do the LH artery and some RH collaterals. So in the future, I can get the RH done for more!
What about ground glass appearance? I was smoking for only total of 8 years and got diagnosed with moderate COPD. I have kids that are “zebras” with differing mitochondrial disease. If I hadn’t researched online, they’d be dead by now. Most drs are willing to let things slip through the cracks unless you push AND educate yourself as best you can. Google is great IF you vet where and when the info is from. 🥴
I was astounded when a PA of my cardiologist (note: not a urologist) said that the procedure was to go into the wrist!!!!! to the prostate artery. I said what the Hell! He said it goes in a vein by/through a connection of the veins and arteries outside the heart into an artery down to the prostate! This doctor also said the entry could be through the wrist or the groin. As a professional engineer the wrist entry seems TOTALLY CRAZY! Sorta like driving from Southern Florida to San Diego by going through Detroit! Is there any reasonable explanation for a wrist entry?
I’m 35m had thyroid cancer few year back ct showed lung nodule about year ago. But now for some reason I’m coughing up bad at night with feeling of something in my lungs not sure if it’s that or something else but can’t sleep or lay down from discomfort
I had optilume done for a bad stricture, It was like peeing through a fine thread before. Procedure went fine, within a couple days zero pain and flow is better than before stricture. Was terrified, normally surgery doesn't bother me, but now glad I did it.
thats great. I too want to go for Optilume for bulber stricture but scared of recurrence. how long back you got the surgery done ? any post surgery issues ?
@gobindkumar2723 Been about 3 months. Everything has been perfect. There was burning 🔥 feeling for a few days after, then random mild burning. Now is perfect. To pee 1/4 cup before would take me 2+ minutes and my bladder would spasm. Now 1/4 is done in 3 seconds. I was told have have a few more, but I passed a large kidney stone about 5 weeks ago and came out instantly. So think I am good for now. Before this, I had a few times I couldn't pee, probably from small kidney stone blocking, that was horrible.
@@rotwiler7674happy for you my friend. I too take 120+ seconds to pee 150-200ml and I never feel fully done. I had kidney stone stuck which caused me stricture. Thinking to go for optilume balloon
@GOBINDKUMAR-uj3jx I had a kidney stone stuck between my bladder and kidney, causing kidney to backup and almost stop working. After the optilime procedure, stone passed about 3 weeks later, easily. Would be no way to pass it before the surgery. Do it, was scarey, but best thing. I was getting stones stuck and dealing with having to pee all the time, never getting good sleep etc, now is better than before the strictures. I have more strictures, but they don't seem to be causing issues.
@@rotwiler7674 even I have kidney stones. This stricture I got coz of kidney stone last year in July month. If you have more structures when didnt you get all of them treated at once buddy? And how come the stones moved out if you have more structures in urethra?
I had all my tests within two weeks. This week the results showed inconclusive for lymphoma, so the biopsy has gone for specialised testing, but they found a node in my lung.
I went to the ER for asthma attack I complained of also rib and chest pain because of coughing so much was told I have advanced breast lymph and lung cancer by the ER Dr. 😢😢😢😢😢
Had a stage 1 clear cell renal carcinoma in a kidney cyst last year. Had to have the whole kidney removed. Margins negative. Now I have a septated 2.7 cm cyst on my liver and a 3 mm nodule in my lung. Seeing my primary tomorrow. Knowing that the lungs and liver are the number one spots where kidney cancer spreads has me extremely worried.
I had a PAE two days ago. My perspective; The most painful part - and it's really not - is the needle in the arm to provide any meds that might be needed. I found that the most difficult part was having to lie motionless for a couple hours. I got an itchy nose, an itchy eye, etc. Nurse had to keep scratching them for me! Also my penis got in an awkward position that I so badly wanted to fix and couldn't and certainly wasn't going to ask the nurse for help with that. The procedure itself is nothing. The second biggest issue I had was having to lie still for another two hours after the procedure to make sure nothing got knocked out of position I guess. The worst part was that I got serious rectal pain that night. Fortunately I had on hand some opioids that helped with that. By morning, I was no longer in pain. Only other thing was mild discomfort in my abdomen.
My doctor said my mostly solid nodule doesn’t present as cancer for 4 years, and was going to release me. He left and suggested I follow up with his replacement. Six specialists couldn’t agree on size. Suddenly, it’s called suspicious by radiologists. But the last scan showed size had decreased. Pet scan did not light up. Robotic bronchoscopy was nondiagnostic, but showed benign cells. Lung wash had no malignancy. Two tiny nodules were stable, but last report also showed scattered calcified granulomas. New doc wanted to do lung surgery “just in case” with no proof of malignancy. Just guesswork that it could be adenocarcinoma. I declined. I’ve had brain surgery for acoustic neuroma, GI sepsis, and am frail and disabled with many health challenges, age 69. I never went back to the new doctor. My pcp supports my decision. Surgeon who did bronchoscopy described my nodule as “teeny tiny.” It started out as 8-9 mm, then 11mm, 13 mm, 14mm, and back to 11 mm. One of the images from my pulmonologist showed a smaller image than last year. Others looked the same. All images had a halo. No symptoms. I’ve lost faith in the medical community. I went through stressful hell, with no answers. Any thoughts?
I wish this guy was here at the Houston V.A. Because they either ignore your symptoms and call you a hypocrite or just want to do an unnecessary surgery (justify all the spending and money they receive from the government)
Found this interesting. Been diagnosed with enlarged prostate and gone through many of the catheter/cytoscopy procedures mentioned here. The seemingly constant need to urinate is affecting every aspect of life.
