I went to University of Michigan yesterday, I was seen by a urologist who is specialty is overactive bladder, complications of urological procedures and incontinence. I had a cystoscopy done yesterday for the 9th time.
The urologist this time showed me the procedure on the screen. There was a lot of irritation in urinary bladder neck and prostate urethra and also some redness around the biopsy site(mild degree of cystitis).
He told me u have prostatitis like disease and it's likely traumatic. He ordered Flomax for me 0.4 mg at night time. I will follow up with him in 3 months for f/u cystoscopy.
Flomax caused some headache, i had some SOB last night and some runny nose, I took some Advil and the headache is better. Any advise regarding the flomax side effects? He advised me to take it at bedtime for 2 months.
Now I decided to transfer my care to U of M. The procedure yesterday was not painful at all some pressure and I was taking deep breath in and out during the procedure and that helped me. should I continue to follow with this urologist who I trusted and liked or should I see a urologist who is specialized in Urology cancers(urology oncology)?
Thanks for everything
