I went to an urologist last week and had a cystoscope procedure. He found calcium deposits in my bladder and some on my prostate. It wasn't an excessive amount but he suggested I should have it removed. He thought it might alleviate some of the pelvic pain. He removes it with a laser on an out patient basis and I go home with a catheter for a day or 2.
I initially told him I would have it done and then I did a search and found out the calcium deposits are common for a person my age. So I canceled. Now I am having 2nd thoughts. Maybe I should have the procedure done on the slim chance it might alleviate some of the pain.
How about it, Guys???? Anybody have any experience with this or any thoughts?
Thanks, Gary

Calcium in the Bladder
Age 67. Had radiation and radium seed treatment for prostate cancer Jan-June, 2007. 4 months after the March 2007 seeding I was diagnosed with non-bacterial prostatitis. Has been very painful and only relief I get is drinking gallons of water. Problem is I need to stay close to bathroom. Got on-line with the forum on Nov 7, 2007. Taking Flomax and saw palmetto supplement for a couple of months but no relief yet. Just ordered book A Headache in the Pelvis. Living in an RV in Yuma,AZ until May 2008 and then will move north to Wyo. and Colo.

Re: Calcium in the Bladder
Never heard of these deposits causing pain unless they are massive and obstructing a duct in the prostate, for instance.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.
