Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Today I learned I have a bladder stone & enlarged prostate. (cystoscope with a monitored screen) This new uro who I thought was 50/50 (conv non-conv) turned out to be the cut, burn, drugs kind of guy. His non-conventional side is being the seller of supplements. He did not make any comment to my high Estradiol or DHEAS, his only concern was to do a biopsy, since I've only had one, not enough by his book of business. On 7/14 at my suggestion I got a prostate massage expelling 2 drops, blood work, & urinalysis, his comment " 'you have an enlarged prostate " . Today, after the Dx, wanted to schedule me for a green light PVP and surgery for the removal of the bladder stone. I asked won't diet reduce the stone & prostate size? No, surgery is the only way. Also, he said there's a 50/50 chance my sex life will return (retrograde is here to stay) and I'm to be on Proscar for the rest of my life. I left his office to hopefully never return. The uro who perfomed the TURP (04/20/05) never caught the stone and did an imcomplete job. The second who did two cystoscopes ( 02/21/06 ) also did not catch the stone. Any suggestions?
