PVP ~ 12 Oct @ National Naval Medical Center ~ Bethesda

At appointment on 15 Sep, I was initially asked to give a urine
specimen, which I barely filled. The first thing the technician did was
check how much urine was in my bladder, which indicated over 900cc's. The
Doctor ordered a catherization to empty my bladder. To my amazement, the
technician filled a bottle of 1000 cc's or one liter. I'm 62, 5'10", & 170
LBs. I'm now currently scheduled for a PVP on 12 Oct, but will have a
Urodynamic evaluation on Monday, 19 Sep. The National Naval
Medical Center in Bethesda does a lot of PVPs ~ they also do TUNAs & TURPs.
I think PVP is the procedure of choice if the patient qualifies. The
Urodynamic was explained to me ~ it sounds very complex. I'll do some
research on it. Tom
