Question : My father had an enlarged prostate for a few years. About a year and a half ago, he had surgery for a Triple A. He was catheritized and had issues with adequate urination and blood in his urine following. He had to be taken back to the hospital because of it. About 3 weeks following, he had the Urolift procedure done. A couple of weeks ago, he started not feeling well and ended up with appointments with about every doctor he has. His urologist did a CAT or MRI: his prostate is once again enlarged and he had white spots on it that she biopsied. I'm not finding information on what those spots might be. Are they scar tissue or something else?
