Prostrate Test

[gprit]

Anyone know whether there is anywhere in Udon that offers URINE test for prostrate (more accurate than PSA blood test).
BKK hospital don't offer it.

(just a regular checkup.....)

I never knew there was such a test, but here's a good article that explains it. It's unlikely that it's available in Udon if BKK Hospital Udon doesn't make it available. Just my guess! Sounds like this is the best way to screen for prostate cancer now.

Please let us know if you find the test in Udon.

Yes, also interested in finding this out. I had Prostatitis about 10 years ago, the diagnosis included a PSA & Cystocopy. Also a DRE!!

Sthlm3 prostate test is a new and better test to localize cancer as well as aggressive cancer.
Karolinska Sjukhus, Stockholm perform this test as do other medical labs connected to this hospital. Test is recommended for persons up to 69-75 years of age.
The test is also available in UK and is a simple blood test for detecting a cancer. You can avoid Biopsy in this way. You can read more from MEDSCAPE.COM about advantages.I am going to Sweden in July for this test.
PM me for further information.

So How are you now? You on medication?
BPH two years now. Taking alpha blocker, and Finasteride.
Still up 3-4 times a night,and wait leaning against the toilet wall waiting to pee.
Operation needed but think out my price range here Thailand

All ok at the moment, but haven't had a PSA for over a year, can't recall what the numbers were though.

I pee, but sometimes 5 times a night.

If you think you need an op, then make enquiries at all the hospitals & tell them you're not a 'rich farang'. From experience, the prices for surgery of all kinds, are flexible.

Not being able to urinate properly can be what I had, a restriction growth inside the prostate.
They had me on duodart but that did nothing and I was on an ever increasing dose of macrodantin to overcome infection.( not a good prospect)
Finally had an op arranged for a TURPS proceedure. 3 days in the Mater in Brisbane, and all fixed. Took maybe another 3 months on macrodantin to clear out the main bug but good ever since.
Side effects are the swimmers get ejected back into the bladder which can be a bit of an ery experience for some they say.
Other stuff still works ok but tend to get less use these days ( getting older
