Sex after prostate biopsy

[Nickoname1]

Hi everyone, had a prostate biopsy last week, awaiting results. Meanwhile, had a tug this morning - fucking hell!! All sorts  of red gunge came out at the vital moment!!

Have read online that this is normal....but wondered if anyone else had had this and how long it takes to get back to having spunk that doesn't look like an abbatoir floor!

I will obviously have to refrain from punting for a while......but should I be wanking more to flush the pipes??


Thanks for any assistance or advice

In all honesty you should discuss this with the medical professionals at the hospital concerned. What they tell you will be accurate medical advice tailored to your particular case.

[David1970]

Thanks for your post....just about to eat but I think I will give it a miss now.

[B4bcock]

I had a biopsy a few years ago, with the same side effects you are experiencing.   If my recollection is correct, it took about two weeks to get back to normal.   You should notice a gradual lessening in the amount of blood in your cum.

I hope your results are no cause for concern.   I am now under active surveillance (blood test for psa level every 6 months).   So far it is staying in check, but I punt as much as possible in case I have to go under the surgeon's knife and possibly suffer the undesirable side effects.

I'm afraid wanking in private is your only option for a short while!

[B4bcock]

Forgot to say that I don't think the amount you wank will affect anything.   It is an internal healing process that will go at its own speed.

My Husband had a biopsy and went on to have a prostatectomy, his cum was quite scarey looking for a few weeks brown in colour, it eventually got less and less and then got back to the normal colour after a few weeks.  Have you looked on the macmillan prostate cancer website? Lots of really useful information and a telephone number to speak to a nurse specialist.  Please feel free to PM me as in recent months sadly I have been through the whole biopsy, MRI and bone scan process with him, and I know how scarey it is.

Fingers crossed for you MrN.

This post IMHO is a great example of why we tolerate SPs on here.

Thanks everyone

[Benevis]

Will depend on how quick your prostate takes to heal and how many samples they took.2 years ago I had the normal prostate biopsy where they took 14 samples and it took about 4-6 weeks for the colour of my come to return to normal.It goes from bright red to dark brown then light brown.Then got MRI scan and all was negative.Last year they did MRI scan first then a fusion biopsy where they target specific suspect areas using the scan pictures all done under general anaesthetic.On this occasion they took 4 samples so my come returned to normal in about 3 weeks.Luckily all  negative results again.Got Hospital in a couple of weeks time so will see what this year brings.Good luck with your results.

Like any medical procedure, always ask questions about recovery, return to 'normal' activities, and in the case of your prostate ask about return to sexual activities.

Blood in urine/semen after a prostate biopsy will be normal. Tissue has been damaged, it has a rich blood supply so it will bleed. Fresh blood will be red, old blood will be brown.

I've just had steam ablation of my prostate to reduce its size (mine was very enlarged and was wreaking havoc with my waterworks). I've been told not to ejaculate for SIX WEEKS  I am however making sure I get an erection every day to keep things functioning, but of course not ejaculating is requiring resolute restraint on my part! 

[B4bcock]

On the bright side, you now have 6 weeks in which to plan what will surely be one of your all-time greatest punts!

[funfungoodguy]

I am not any sort of medical professional but........     Blood in ejaculation is completely normal after the biopsy because of the way they insert the biopsy equipment so many times via your rectum to get to each lobe of the prostate unavoidably causes some bleeding inside. it will clear in a few days. worse is to get an infection because of the rectum punctures during the procedure. Any man over 45 should be well acquainted with his PSA count IMHO especially is there is a family history of Prostate cancer. it is however not a foolproof test and my advice is to escalate any concerns  to other types of Prostate check because you can have quite advanced prostate cancer and still have all the usual functions working perfectly with no noticeable symptoms/ pain/ water/ ejaculation issues. it is a silent killer. Have the bastard out if you've got cancer in it (subject to the best medical advice you can get for your particular diagnosis) because early intervention is key with cancer and spread to other organs/ areas is much more serious. other types of treatment/ advice/ intervention may be available depending on your age and other things. be aware that it may take time for recovery but erections and 'dry' orgasm can in some cases be enjoyed after a prostatectomy and anyway i'd rather be alive and have a slightly different way of functioning than dead........  look at the helpful Prostate Cancer Charity website for more info.

Good point!

I'll be bursting by then, but reckon I'll need to bang off a couple at home to clear the pipes out before I try it out on someone else

Worth noting that for many guys diagnosed with prostate cancer, depending on the type and age at diagnosis, it's often best left alone and monitored. Reason being that in these cases you're much more likely to die WITH it than OF it. Remove the prostate, and you can pretty well wave goodbye to any future natural erections, and sex as you know it.

This is becomes more likely the case, the older you are when diagnosed. It's a numbers game, be guided by your doctor. But just 'whipping out the cancer to get rid of the fucker' is not always the best course of action, specifically with prostate cancer.

Very true.     It is also worth noting that new treatments, many of which have less harmful side effects on a guy's sex life, are being developed all the time.    Even radical prostatectomy can now often be done leaving the erectile nerves relatively unscathed.    Hopefully, in the near future, a cure will be found which has no adverse effects at all.    I bloody hope so, anyway!

Thanks again to everyone for their support and advice. It's amazing how many people this bastard disease touches.

Obviously folk have differing views but I do agree with the general consensus/sensible view which is to get checked out regularly and don't take any shit from your GP. The more I have read about it, the more I realise that there may not be any symptoms until the fucker has spread. Get in there early boys and get checked out.

Special thanks to Vic69. We've exchanged PMs and she's been very supportive. As Mrfishyfoo said, her comments were very much welcomed and she was brave to stick her head above the parapet.

My hospital appointment has been brought forward to tomorrow (is that good news or bad?!) so at least I'll get some results before the weekend.

Whatever the outcome it sounds like Winkywanky and I will be Plenty wanky for a while! Not with each other obviously! Just making that crystal clear.

Thanks again for your support everyone.

As an aside you could try dark coloured condoms.   

[tynetunnel]

Once again UKP at its finest, in terms of the bravery of the OP to post at the start, and all the support and encouragement from everyone incl a WG. Seriously everyone, it makes me proud to be a part of UKP,  and I feel all warm inside 

Good luck OP with your forthcoming news 

[Home Alone]

Hear hear. Or as we usually say, "+1"!

This thread has also been, to me, one of the occasional good examples of supportive comments from both sides of our 'community' and one which many outside that community wouldn't think we were capable of. [He wrote, ungrammatically!]

I completely agree with one of your comments in particular, TT. Vic69's comment is a clear example of why Admin permits their participation.  to her.

And at the risk of sounding as REALLY fluffy - as a now-retired Escort who used to post on here in a similar helpful vein used to call me! - may I say I think that your words ring particularly clear, given your contributions to this thread?

[workinallweek]

 Been there done that and unfortunately my results were positive  but 5 years on and with the help of a very patient girls  one in particular  its kind of still working 

pm me if you need imfo ..

oh and wanking  hard exercise and riding a push bike horse or motorcycle  can adverselly effect your  psa levels  so refrain from these for around 5 days before any future blood tests ..

[Nickoname1]

So I saw the consultant......thanks to everyone's support and good wishes, I am luckily clear of the Big C for the time being. There is however something (less sinister) wrong with my prostate so more tests to come and regular PSA/blood tests.

Will see what happens but at least I am one of the lucky ones for the time being.

Thanks again to everyone.

Ps the answer to the wanking question is to refrain for another 4 weeks!!! Yikes!!!! Just call me Buster Gonads!

Have a good weekend everyone.

[tynetunnel]

Great news Nicko, congratulations on being declared big C free. I hope that the prostate issue is nothing too serious. Naturally you’ll be relieved! Great news and thanks for sharing. Stay well mate

You're one of "the mates I've never met" on here, Nicko; but I couldn't be more pleased about your news if we were old drinking buddies.

[one eyed panda]

As a person who has been right through the process (4 biopsies all told) I would say the information here is about right. I chose to wait as long as I could manage before any jacking off so got brown, ie  old blood in the ejaculate at first; after about 3 weeks altogether it was back to normal

Beware, any intrusion into the body seems to stimulate it so you may be extra randy for a couple of months

One negative biopsy is not the end. If the consultant thinks you have prostate cancer they will keep testing you till they find it, as in my case. Took 3 years of monitoring

[Vic69]

Thankyou everyone for the lovely comments. Raising awareness of the symptoms of prostate cancer is my mission at the moment.   My Husband had NO symptoms and his raised PSA was only picked up by chance.  He had a prostatectomy in February, and just this week has been given the all clear (PSA 0), he is currently cancer free!   :)Prostate cancer really is a horrible sneaky disease, and too many men are dying of it.  Symptoms are Urinary problems (hesitation,dribbling,reduced flow, increased night time visits to the loo) Erectile dysfunction, blood in your urine, blood in your cum. You are at risk if you have a brother or father that have had prostate cancer.  There is no national screening for this, but every man over 45 is entitled to a test.  So guys if you are worried PLEASE  get yourself to your GP, it could save your life xxx
PS some of the above symptoms could be other prostate related conditions, but still need checking anyway.

Many men of a certain age suffer from BPH-benign prostatic hyperplasia-the prostate enlarges and occludes the urethra-which makes weeing difficulty, getting up in the night to wee etc. This is normal, can be helped by drugs like Tamsulosin or Alfuzosin.
Blood in the wee may be an indication of something much more serious-for instance bladder cancer -in some cases it may be due to a vascular prostate than bleeds occasionally-but get yourself investigated.

You've kind of contradicted yourself there Vic, but in doing so you've highlighted the potential problem with prostates: benign prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) is very common and nothing to do with cancer. Prostate cancer can cause similar symptoms because its growth can cause urinary obstruction, but not always.

Therefore as you have suggested, if you have the symptoms mentioned above then SEE YOUR DOCTOR.

But in addition to this, I would recommend any guys over 50 asking for a PSA test EVERY YEAR. In other words, if you're of a certain age, DON'T WAIT FOR SYMPTOMS. When you see your GP they will do the PSA test and put a finger up your bum - reason for this is that normal prostate tissue, even if enlarged, palpates as soft and smooth. Cancer tends to be knobbly/nodular.

Between the two of those you'll vastly reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer by catching it early.

And if you're going for a PSA test, no riding a bike or ejaculating for about 4 days beforehand, either of those will falsely raise your PSA level.

Totally agree, guys get yourselves checked......we have just had 5 months of hell, but early(ish) diagnosis has meant that it has been curative rather than palliative.   We were told if it hadn't been picked up within the year (which easily could have happened), that it would have been a while different story.

[simon07]

Thanks guys, did not know that bit about no sex for 5 days before PSA test. I only had it as my doctor was wondering if Finasteride 1mg tablets might help reduce my hair loss etc. Did test before considering prescription.

So my PSA has been going up with age and recently jumped above age related range. So I have an MRI prostate scan booked next week. I may have a prostate biopsy in 2 weeks and from your posts not keen on that at all. Did you guys drive a car Ok after the biopsy and did it affect your going to work, eating, peeing, fucking, wanking etc?

I am on punting break after 11 years, mostly because the supply of reasonably priced punts is going not there now. If I do have a biopsy, then no sex or wanks for 2 months or should I clear the tubes? I can imagine a WG getting alarmed seeing blood in the condom? I forgot about the symptoms about urine urgency, dribbling and getting up at night - thought that happens normally when you reach 60?

Good tips here, thanks lads. How many more of us punters are in the same boat? If you are Afro Caribean, the nurse was telling me, get a PSA test done after the age of 40 as the risks are higher in that category of patients.

[Jonestown]

My experience with PSA testing is that you need to lay off more than the 4/5 days mentioned above to get a stable reading, I’d recommend 10 days at least.

[Vic69]

Don't forget riding a bycicle and recent ejaculation can affect a PSA result also.

[simon07]

Good tips 

[Fishface]

Especially if they happen simultaneously! 

Also PSA before any DRE or prostate massage as that can stimulate the PSA level upwards as can certain medications.

Apart from what has already been discussed, the only other symptom I experienced was some lower abdominal discomfort, possibly due to slight bruising of the prostate during the procedure.       Nothing to cause any change in lifestyle.

[Benevis]

I drove myself home from hospital after biopsy no problem.As others have said a bit of discomfort for about a day.I was told to keep drinking lots of  water to flush out system.

mine was done under anesthetic so couldnt drive   things were tender for a few days

[Nickoname1]

Simon - mine was done under what they called sedation - not quite a general anaesthetic. You get the same preparation as a full on operation - gown that does up at the back, lie on a hospital bed, wheeled into the operating theatre etc. I remember them injecting anaesthetic stuff into the cannula in the back of my hand. After the procedure I was certain I was awake the whole time but I don't think I could've been! I think it took 20 mins or so. Must've been asleep.

Afterwards you get wheeled into the recovery ward for half an hour or so, then back to a normal ward for a couple of hours. You have to have a piss before they let you go home to make sure you don't have any internal swelling.

Due to the sedation they wouldn't let me drive home.

I had a bit of a dull ache for a few hours but fine after that.

No other issues other than blood in wee for a few days (starts off being red, then goes brown) and blood in cum as described in my original post! This also went brown but is now back to normal after nearly 4 weeks.

The consultant advised me to refrain from ejaculation in the early weeks (a bit late as I'd had a go) as the prostate needs to heal. Much depends on how many biopsies they take (12 for me).

I haven't tried to find a WG who would be interested in 'helping out' but I would imagine almost all would decline the invitation - although it is perfectly safe, you'd have to tell them upfront otherwise they will really freak out when blood comes out of your knob! You'd also have to avoid OWO and cumming on body or fave or wherever.

Good luck with your tests mate. If you have to have a biopsy don't worry, it will be a doddle.

Fingers crossed for you mate.

Guys
I am so glad for the feedback. Thank you. 

[simon07]

Good news, MRI scan was normal and so just annual bloods. No biopsy needed. 

[WASA38]

Blood in the wee may be an indication of something much more serious-for instance bladder cancer -in some cases it may be due to a vascular prostate than bleeds occasionally-but get yourself investigated.

In my case, blood in the wee and ejaculating neat blood was , beyond all reasonable doubt, the consequence of over-enthusiastic prostate massage,

I subsequently had an endoscopic examination and was prescribed finasteride (already on tamsulosin). After this, have no problem with libido or erections but orgasm/ejaculation is elusive. Plenty of pre-cum but no cum. Of course , advanced years (80+) doubtless a contributing factor.

Beware ! This was my first and last prostate massage.

[Nickoname1]

Nice one Simon. Great news. Just to be on the safe side you may wish to lean on your GP to have the PSA bloods taken more frequently than just annually.

But in any case....well done!! Look forward to reading your celebratory review!
