@icorus1959 Thanks for sharing. Re my current hematuria (blood in urine) episode, I suspect and hope it's just from sitting too long in front of the computer that's abrading the prostate thus causing the bleeding.

Wife & I recently had a month-long pilgrimage in the EU that had us walking a lot almost every day and I never had hematuria. Now that I'm back on my computer for business, I've had another episode.

@bennysr
I had a TURP about 10 years ago. Perhaps 5ish years ago, I developed hematuria. My original surgeon wanted to repeat the TURP. The second opinion urologist, who was previously my urologist until a 4 hour wait caused me to change, suggested finesteride for the hematuria. Due to the potential side effects, I asked him to consider an every other day dose which he permitted. No longer a problem until this year, a bladder stone and horribly enlarged prostate (it grew back with a vengence) gave cause for the aquablation I had in August. So far so good and I'm off finesteride as as well as off tamsulosulin. As they say on tv: ask your doctor. Good luck!
