I’ve had BPH for years. Found worse symptoms when I was overweight and not eating healthy. Ended up in Emergency twice with bladder full and couldn’t pass water. Had to start intermittent catheterization at home as a life saver.
It is 3:05 am and I have been stdying for 8 hrs. Now I am happy to watch you Dr and to learn from you. Great as usuall. I will do well next week when we take this issue ❤️❤️
I've watched a few of your videos now. I was curious about NCoV 2019. Thank you for all the info by the way. You should be a professor imho. You have an amazing talent for explaining things clearly and you are not above repeating things. I'm finding my curiosity for the human body is coming back. I was a child of 5 when I opened my mothers text books (she was a nurse) to find diagrams of all the muscles and organs and nerves. I'm starting to feel the fascination again and it's thanks to you. So, thank you. :)
You remind me with my dad he was a urological surgeon… other then the benefits of learning from you as medical student… I watch you to remember him also …
First of all, Dr Campbell is extremely knowledgeable and I have really gained by listening to his Covid-19 analyses of published works! I do want to mention one thing from this video though. The Doctor suggests that TURP is the "Gold Standard" in BPH surgeries. While I don't disagree that TURP, a procedure developed in the late 1920's is still used quite frequently across the USA, I'm thinking that designated it as the "Gold Standard" might be going a bit too far. (I'd be satisfied with "Lead Standard..." ) There are many more procedures that have been developed since the 1920's Some of these procedures work for some prostate issues, but not others. In any case, if you have been diagnosed with BPH and your urologist wants to sign you up for a TURP (as mine did) It might pay you to look beyond TURP and see what else is offered. (TURP for instance, has a relatively higher rate of transfusion and longer cathitor time other procedures.) One unfortunate thing is that many urologists may have TURP and one other procedure that they do, and I suspect that no urologist will undertake all possible procedures, yet they all may have payments on their yacht that must be met monthly. Didn't find a urologist who would review all possible options, but I didn't look near and far either. It really puts the onus back on the individual to do the homework and then consult with a urologist who does the one you feel is best for you to see if your prostate configuration qualifies for that procedure..
Doctor, all the treatments you mentioned are quite invasive or the therapy is quite drugs dependent! When new procedures such as artery cauterization or embolization will become more generalized and more readily available?
I have a problem to pass stool.(because of the highly enlarged prostate.?) there very little or no hardship to urinate. I have colonoscopy and biopsy of prostate gland and all-are normal/ why I have problem to pass stool
