Enlarged Prostate (BPH) Vs. Prostate Cancer | Mark Scholz, MD | PCRI

[@michaelclennan8425]

In my Texas prostate support group which meets monthly, we have 25 men. All come after we have had procedures. After these educational lectures and videos, 90 % wish we had had known the PCRI facts before our procedures. There are a lot of very average doctors who are in a hurry.

This specialist is a brilliant man.

My prostate was measured at 62cc during my biopsy. My PSA counts are consistently between 4.5 and 5.5. Unfortunately, I’m starting to experience urinary issues, primarily during evening trips to the bathroom. Thanks for sharing this valuable information for those of us worried that a high PSA is a sign of cancer.

Another insightful and helpful talk from Dr. Scholz. 👍

You& your team are on the cutting ✂️ edge of prostate information to the general public, practitioners and educated consumer$, but a lot of practices just want more rides on patients insurance primary, secondary & co payments $$$,

For the past years, I have had to go to the bathrooms numerous times in one. Yesterday, I flew from Bangkok to LA and had to use the bathroom 5 times of the first three hour flight and then 6 times on the long haul. In addition, prior to boarding I had to go to the bathroom 5 times. Then when I land two more times. Trying to sleep tonight and I had to go 5 times already. So, this is 21 trips to the bathroom. My fluid intake is not abnormal.

Thank you both🙏 I really appreciate you 🙏🇺🇸😊

[@pmomalley]

Excellent discussion. I wish I would have seen before my biopsy. I had a biopsy that was recommended by my doc because my psa was 5. My MRI showed a 47cc prostate size prior to my biopsy. And based on the comments here a 5 would be normal for a 47cc prostate size. Doesn’t seem like I really needed the biopsy.

THANK YOU for providing this excellently informative channel.

[@HankGoodness]

First, thank you for all your informative videos, much appreciated. I have prostate cancer and have been on active surveillance for 3 years. Can you simultaneously have prostatitis and/or BPH at the same time as prostate cancer?

[@jimbrew4529]

My enlarged prostate may have saved my life. I went in for urinary symptoms and ended up also having an aggressive prostate cancer, 4-5, 5-4. My lady medical practioner hadnt been ordering psa tests or digital inspections in my exams, so it went undetected. Luckily, the cancer was confined to the prostate.

[@johnnyjohnson7642]

Nice medical stuff,I have been following you guys for 2 yrs. Now but a lot of medical practitioner$ atr still very greedy & opt for more expensive procedure$ to get more bang for $$ bucks,not in interest of do no harm to the patients,,& I have a problem with that

[@calbob750]

PCRI is the one source that every adult male should seek out and learn from. My first TURP was in 2009. My “ peach size” prostate PSA went from 2.0 to 6.3 over 12 years. After years of enduring all the signs, symptoms, diagnosis procedures and TURP, the HoLEP procedure finally brought long term relief. In my case Medicare covered.

Great video Thanks !

[@briang.299]

Could the doctor do a video for men that have BPH but also need testosterone therapy? I have both and yet the information out there is mixed. Thanks

[@michaelcasey6546]

Firstly thank you so much for all these videos, I'm a 50 year old man with a 32cc prostate, Mri showed a pi rads 4 and 16 core random plus targeted biopsy came back benign, my psa is 2.8, I also had a bad bout of prostatitis about 3 months before the mri scan, I'm just wondering can you advise me on where I go next regarding this, thank you again guys for all your helpful and insightful information.

[@sufibra1051]

Where you go next , just live your life bro, nothing wrong with you.

[@jamesvezina9886]

Thank you for info I just checked my MRI & biopsy from April 2023 reports to see my prostate size It said 24cc Does that include volume not length The dimension of 3 tumors was about 1.0cm or a little less I wonder how much area of prostate had cancer My follow-up radiation practioner has me take Flo max for urinary improvement I think it helps but I must urinate at nite a few times What is normal prostate size.? Thank you for informative videos

[@pontesieve]

I was initially diagnosed with BPH , after tests and a MRI which didn’t show anything sinister, but PSA kept creeping up and the biopsy confirmed PC 3+4 Gleason 7 and graded at T3a , thank god for the PSA , still don’t know how a MRI scan missed it

[@wormsnake1]

What treatment did you proceed with? Thank you.x

[@pontesieve]

@@wormsnake1 I proceeded with a prostatectomy robotic keyhole surgery by Da Vinci robot, the was delayed by 4 months during the height of pandemic lockdown here in the Uk. Was out after 2 days and I am being tested for PSA annually , so far reading 0.1 PSA .I am well but really hit me mentally and although free of cancer their some permanent side effects following surgery, that you do eventually learn to live with, please feel free to ask any more questions

[@wormsnake1]

@@pontesieve I’m glad the surgery went well my friend. I think the in continence issues and ED improve over time. It’s a blessing in many ways. Are you back there work? Do you hope to if not right now? I had a friend who sadly left it too late and there was no treatment available for him. I am in and out of hospital at the moment. Scary times but we are here and still alive. Keep on keeping on. 🙏❤️

[@wormsnake1]

I have both BPH and FavIntermediate PC. What is causing my urinary symptoms to worsen and improve day to day, sometimes morning to afternoon? It would sure make my life easier, If there was something I could do to control these systems!

[@jessman8597]

I'm terrified of getting older. I'm just now realizing how humiliating and painful this is. Urology offers nothing but pain and humiliation. Desperately need more women in urology to make it the tiniest but better. This is so terrifying.

[@rallegra]

Getting good information like this is really helpful to allay fears. If you don’t have symptoms don’t worry. Find a good doctor to monitor your health.

[@dgre334]

I have BPH causing various urinary symptoms. I also have prostate cancer (gleeson 4+3) and due for a radical prostatecomy. Will the removal of my enlarged prostate improve my urinary symptoms?

[@TheJon2442]

Make sure you engage a good surgeon. Good luck! After surgery I still have real issues!

[@jimbrew4529]

I've got the same issue. I'm not a physician, but think prostrate removal would solve the urinary problem. However, less radical treatments might be preferred?

[@dgre334]

@@jimbrew4529 I had my surgery 15 mths ago. Urinary problems gone although I have minor leakage and wear 1 light pad per day. The trade-off was worth it. I also have ED which is unlikely to improve. Radiation was not recommended as it would further impact urinary symptoms.

[@dgre334]

@@jimbrew4529 had surgery 14 mths ago. Urinary symptoms resolved. Minor leakage requires 1 pad per day. Good trade-off. Radiation not recommended as it would make symptoms worse.

My dad had PSA level 0.8 and enlarged prostate of 75cc. How they are related?

[@ABHISHEKGF]

Doctor I have been going extreme pain in my prostrate for past 4 years and ultrasound and ct scan whole abdomen comes out normal and I have seen 15 urologist but they diagnose it for prostitis. This episode usually start after ejaculation now last month it felt like burst inside it pelvis bone pain and after that its feels difficult in walking and it's not stopping again doctor are diagnosing for prostitis I doubt it to be cancer but doctors are refusing it and even on requesting for mri no one is ready to prescribe for mri prostate or advanced diagnosis only one doctor suggested me that there is damaged in wall of prostate which have come out .Is it same as cancer I am taking antibiotics as suggested in my earlier prescription but nothing is helping out PSA was around 11 no infection and no englarged prostate seen in latest radiology report of my ultrasound Reply

[@rickedwards2]

I am 71 and my prostate volume (elliptical) is 120 grams is that high for a 71 year old? will it effect my PSA

[@MrMediterrano]

I assume the HPV (Humanpapilomavirus) plays a role in prostate enlargement and maybe even in prostate cancer.
