In Benign prostatic hyperplasia

When your prostate gland becomes enlarged it can cause urinary problems such as difficulty passing urine and the need to go to the toilet frequently or urgently. It can also cause urine flow to be slower. If not treated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely blocked. Veltride Tablet works by relaxing muscles in the bladder and prostate. So, it can rapidly relieve the symptoms and make it easier for you to urinate.

It also relieves painful, or frequent urination and reduces urgency to urinate. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed for maximum benefits.

What is hyperplasia nd wht a treatment
Dr. Banashree Majumdar
Dermatology
Mr. PATIENT is not a medical condition, it's just a histological term mentioned in pathology reports
I was having high psa > 8.00. It was Benign Prostate Hyperlasia. Repeated infection of prostate over many years. TURP of prostate done in Nov'2015. Prostate was 30 mg approx then. Still psa remained at 8.27 after TURP. No malignancy in biopsy. In Sept'2016 12 core biopsy of prostate done as psa remained high; biopsy reported no malignancy. On veltride-0.5 since Sept16 . Psa was 5,47 in between and now again it is 6.28. Doctor has given now dutas-0.5mg replacing veltride. He told that after 3 to 4 months if psa remains high beyond 7.00 then MP-MRI to be done. No other problem of infection or pain or swelling. Am I on the right track ? Why PSA remains so high high even 16 months after TURP ? I am not having any urge for sex. Doctor has given tadalagress20 mg ( alternate days) due to loss of libido, which I have not yet taken. Is it safe to take tadalgress alongwith dutas-0.5 mg ?
Dr. Praveen Pushkar
Urology
First of all PSA of 8 is not very high. U already underwent turp n prostate biopsy. No malignancy was detected. Now just relax. No need to take Dutas. Just do PSA every 6 months.
