Dear Dr. I have an elevated PSA of 43 AFTER a radical prostatectomy in 2007. I have been put on a Hormone Suppressant (Eligard 45 mg) on 14 MARCH 2015.

Don' t worry about the fever and don' t suppress it. It is your body' s way of fighting infection. And infection is there - of a low grade; else there would be no fever. By fighting your immune system with Crocins to reduce the fever you are hampering your system from fighting the infection and hence the infection lurks and your thrashed immune system keeps trying to fight it until the Crocin comes along and bashes it down again. If you let me, I think I can do you some good. It will cost you a ...more

Hi Mr. lybrate-user,
I appreciate you seeking opinion. As far as I understand, this injection attempts to slow down the growth of prostate cancer by lowering the levels of male hormone testosterone. Its good to note that your PSA levels have consistently decreased from as high as 41 ng/ mL in Nov 15' to as low as 1.2 ng/ mL in June 16' However, sometimes one may still have prostate cancer despite a normal PSA value. A PET CT scan, at this juncture, can help provide correct status as regards ...more

Asked for female, 38 years old from Bangalore

Hello doctor, urgent pls kindly inform if lupride depot 3.75 mg (sun pharma) is same as luprodex 3.75 mg (bharat serums & vaccines ltd)? For endometriosis adenomyosis & uterine fibroids, gynaec had prescribed this injection once in month for 3 months. Both showcase "leuprolide acetate for injection" on their front side of respective boxes. But now at the time of purchasing I found another injection luprodex 3.75 mg so wanted to know if both are same and have same effect? As these are costly injection wanted to confirm with you before buying. Is bharat serums a good manufacturer? Pls give clarity.

Both are the same medicine with different brands and hence costs. Bharat serums is a good manufacturer and you can use their medication without any problem.

Asked for male, 60 years old from Vadodara

Hello Doctors, I have been treated for stage III prostate cancer with robotic radical prostatectomy in August 2016, followed by 4 injections of Leuprolide 22.5 mg. My Bone scan and PSMA PET scan were negative, just local spread to nearby lymph nodes was positive. I took 11 sessions of radiotherapy, but developed blockage of urine during the treatment, so was not advised to continue that. I am suffering from urinary incontinence since December 2016, also I was operated for urethral blockage twice -Dec 2016 and Feb 2018. Doctor advised me to do self-catheterization every month. My PSA reports have been normal always, except last time when it raised to 2.226. What should be my treatment plan now? My doc suggests to get PSMA PET scans done and start again with hormonal therapy. Is there anything in the diet I can change so that the cancer cells do not grow again? I haven't done any modifications in my diet post treatment. Please guide me through this. What are the chances of metastasis?

Hi, the psa seems a bit high and I agree with your doctor that psma pet scan should be done. I am not sure if diet will make a big change right now. You may also need a MRI of the prostate to assess the tumour bed.
