Today was a bit stressful. I had a regular checkup today with my Urologist.
That involved an Ultrasound of my Kidneys and bladder...During the Ultrasound. I noticed that the Tech was taking a lot pictures. Once she finished she told me to wait there in case they needed more pictures... Well that raised a red flag. Shortly after that she returned with another Tech. He proceeded to tell me that the first Tech was new and they needed to take a few pictures over.. She tried again, then he stepped in and was really pushing the wand into my left lower side. Where the bladder is located. They finished and took me to another room. My Doctor came and told me something showed up on my pictures. It difficult to see what it could be with just an Ultrasound. He wanted to do a Cystoscope on me right then. In a normal procedure like this you are given Valium... I could not take it because I was driving myself.... The procedure is done with a camera that is inserted through penis, passing though the prostate, then into the bladder. Pushing saline though as well.. It hurts... Luckily there were no tumors. I have a enlarged prostrate that was pushing against my bladder. Now I am on Flomax to see it will help shrink my prostate. A waiting my PSA results.... I was relieved and stressed at the same time. My blood pressure shot up to 165/ 78. Glad that day is over, here hoping the Flomax helps... Just wanted to share that guys.
