Blood In Urine, Severe Bleeding Due To Radiation Therapy Due To Prostrate Cancer. Can HBOT Help ?
I'm having blood in my bladder/ urine. Two months ago I was hospitalized for 2 weeks because of severe bleeding with clots in my urinary tract and/ or bladder. I was told that this was a result of my radiation therapy due to my prostate cancer 6 years ago. I might go to the ER LATER BUT MY UROLOGIST had suggested I may have HBOT DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF BLOOD. I have a heart failure and have a pace maker. Can HBOT be good for me?

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Hyper baric oxygen therapy is suggested for maintenance of the life as the oxygen carrying capacity is low, and the circulting capacity is also low due to the heart failure.
So for the present, till the hemoglobin and heart failure are compensated the procedure is a must.
Still if you have any doubts you can approach our ASK A SPECIALIST channel for direct interaction with our specialists whom ever you select. Wishing for a comfortable life. Thank you.
