PVP Severe Complications
2007-02-04 06:45:28
Hello,
I had a PVP 7 month ago by Dr. Bachmann at Basel University hospital. My prostate was 100 gr. At first, it seemed to be a fast and normal recovery but after 6 weeks I've got an infection (suffered from chronic inflammation before the operation), that was followed by sever bleeding and sloughing of necrotic tissue. This lasted for 6 days. After that things began to heal but in a much slower pace. After 6 month it seemed to by stabilizing, but then, without any early warning sign the bleeding came back. Now I have blood in the urine at list once a day, after which the prostate seems to be expanding and causing very small flow rate during urination. Sometimes there are small necrotic pieces the the urine. I have tried anti-inflammatory drugs with antibiotics for the inflammation for two weeks but with very little success. Now my urologist is talking of a new operation - TURP this time, because the PVP had obviously such poor results. I'm skeptical of a new procedure, because is its an inflammation related problem there is no guaranty it will not return after the TURP too. Any ideas how to tackle this? Thanks becnam

Dr. Sancha is a very helpful urologist and most likely will respond to your email (although he is a very busy guy too...) The following is from his sig used in his newsgroup posts. You can find contact info on his web site. Fernando Gómez Sancha http:/drgomezsancha2.blogspot.com Good luck. Ed

Hi Ed,
Many thanks for your reply. i wrote Dr. Sancha and he had already replied with some valuable advise. In short, he recommends trying to understand the problem before a second operation.
