Hi,
Since starting treatment with Tamsulosin in September 2021 & Zoladex in November 2021 my ejaculations started to get weaker & eventually dried up. Following the biopsy in the October, I was told to expect some blood, and there was but that stopped within a week or two.
My radiotherapy finished at the end of April this year, subsequently my ejaculations remained completely dry - up about 4 weeks ago - the very few times I have ejaculated since has always been fresh blood (bright red not brownish). I have also noticed that in the first spurt of pee in the morning, it looks like there is older, brownish, blood.
I this normal 7 months after treatment. I would find it embarrassing to discuss this face-face with my doctor, if I was just going to be told that this is normal & nothing to worry about.
Thanks for any help/advice.
Paul
I had blood in my urine after 20 sessions of RT and was told it was perfectly normal. It continued for a couple of weeks but didn't recur since. As it's 7 months since the end of your RT, I think you should discuss it with your GP. It might only be a UTI, but a simple urine test will determine that.
Hi Paul
I urinated a little blood, for a couple of days, after my biopsy - but no more and I'm 3 years post diagnosis.
If you are reluctant to speak with your GP, or the hospital, try the nurses on here - they are really good!
Regards
Stuart
Thanks for that suggestion - I will give that a go.
Paul, I also found it first off to be embarrassing to discuss this face-face with my doctor. I was just going to be told again that this is normal. Also nothing to worry about. As I got braver I offered to demonstrate one on one for my doctor, or his nurse. As a buddy of mine witnessed it previously with me in person, as it happened. What did you experience? Any healing for you?
Thanks and stay strong, Jack
