Hey everyone. That last cysto I have revealed a small papilloma. Now I have to go in every 3 months to make sure its clean. I had a cysto yesterday (no tumors) but he said my prostate was still swollen and congested.
Congested?
He gave me Cipro again which usually does nothing but my sitting pain has been much better so I dont want another round of abx just to do it.
He also doesnt do surgery until 2:00pm and he never gets on the phone, he always makes me come in. I like him a surgeon but everything else is a pain in the neck. What would you guys do?
Would you guys switch Uro's?

The papilloma has to be watched. Your chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a separate issue, and the only value intaking antibiotics would be to ensure that the cysto does not cause an infection.
medcyclopedia wrote:Many consider it to be stage 0 bladder carcinoma. About 2 - 3% of all primary bladder tumours belong to this category. There are, however, a few patients who have had papillary lesions lined by transitional cells that are normal on cytology without the presence of mitosis. The lesions are benign at the time of local resection but have a recurrence rate of approximately 50%, with 10% developing transitional cell carcinoma. 50% of females and 30% males with bladder papilloma will develop malignancy in a nonurologic site.
Papilloma seems to have a better prognosis than grade I papillary carcinoma. The differentiation requires biopsy and histology, and even then it may be difficult
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

I forgot to mention, the papilloma was removed my last time. So I imagine its just precaution. However, you seem to agree that my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome is not due to infection.

We don't think that general chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome is due to an infection. It may start out as one but once it starts cascading, its an entirely different problem, although with an unknown cause that is still the subject of considerable research. But that is extensive CPPS.
You, contrarily, have had a recent surgery and could get an infection, like was said above.
Also, although we do not believe that a congested prostate is the whole story of CPPS, it is part of it. I have had my prostate get congested twice this past year. Once in February, and once just this past week. It gets hard to pee and the urethra stings. (These days, it goes away in a few days, as it did this week.) Otherwise I have been symptom free for a good 6 months.
I wouldn't disregard the Uro. If you want to find a new one, thats fine, but I wouldn't ignore his advice.
When a uro is not helping is after a year or so with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome cascading and they are still hitting you with antibiotics. At this point, most good Uros will tell you they don't know what to do. You are no where near that point yet.

This is not medical advice, and I am NOT a doctor of medicine or a related field.
* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.

This is true although I am now going more of an herbal route. Until my procedure I was pretty much pain free. Now its fired up again (probably from the cysto)
Does anyone think the prostate being swollen and congested can cause papilloma growth?
