Re: Any bad PVP experiences?

I did TUMT ( Thermatrx DOT) June 04 and had catheter for 1 week but
unfortunately the result only last for around two months. If I found this
news group earlier, I would NOT be talked by my NJ uro Dr. W into TUMT.
Fortunately, I found this NG at the end of 04, have follow it ever since. I
visited Dr. Te of NY Presbyterian hospital in June 05 and had urodynamics,
cystoscopy and ultrasound in following several visits. Then had PVP on
8/17/05. I'm 54 with a 100 g size prostate. I had taked Cardular or Flomax
for 6 years and could not pee without them before having PVP. Because of my
big size prostate with median lobe protrusion, I stayed one night at the
hospital with a catheter. They removed the catheter at 6:30 am the next
morning and after I peed successfully twice by myself at a suprise big flow I
walked out the NYP at 11:30. Now my peak flow is 35ml/s vs. <5 ml/s and
become a happy camper. Go for a experienced PVP uro to see if PVP fit you.
Many thanks to those pioneers, Patrick, Al, Dave C, forlorn hope, Mr. B,
nambucca, Richard F Somer, Robo, Spread deMocracy, ... in this NG
