PVP Almost 2 Years Ago



I had read the posts on the various procedures and decided on PVP
because it had the quickest results and recovery. It took a little
while until I found a uro who does it close enough to where I live. I
had the procedure Sep 29, 2003. I left that evening and removed the
catheter the following morning. For a few days I had problems
emptying my bladder and made a couple trips back to the dr (about a 45
min drive each way). Fortunately that cleared up within a week, but
I continued to pass blood for around 5 weeks. That, too, finally
stopped and all was great. My uro likes to do the WIT procedure and
wasn't big on laser jobs. When I went back to him my stream was
strong and I completely emptied my bladder (although fully emptying
had never been a problem). I have not taken any medications since the
procedure. Now it's almost 2 years later and for a little while now
my stream has gotten weaker and I am concerned about it. With the
problems I had immediately afterwards and the weakened stream I have
now, I wonder if the dr didn't do a particularly good job of it.

Any comments or suggestions?
