Medical Questions » Prostate Gland Questions » Question No. 816
| Question: | I had a prostate operation ten years ago, and no problems since until recently. Now I pass a few drops of blood before the urine with my first trip to the toilet in the morning. I am very embarrassed about this, and as I don' t have a regular doctor, would appreciate your opinion. |
| Answer: | The best thing you could do would be find a GP whom you like and trust. Ask friends and neighbours who they go to, then visit that GP for a routine matter. If satisfied, return to discuss your intimate problem, and let the doctor know that you intend to be a regular patient.
If you are not satisfied, keep trying until you find a doctor with whom you are compatible.
As far as your current problem is concerned, you do need to be thoroughly assessed, and in particular, your prostate requires further checking, both by blood and urine tests, and probably by a specialist urologist. It is likely that your prostate is causing the bloody discharge, but the bladder, sperm storage sac or even the testicles could be responsible.
Investigation and treatment as soon as possible would be appropriate.
