Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / April 2005How many of you were put on alpha blockers post PVP???
I had my PVP done on Monday. They were running late and I almost backed out. Things are progressing quite well and I was playing piano last night at choir rehearsal (yes, you can play piano post PVP.....hahahaha). Very little pain and flow is good, Can't sit for real long periods. Doc prescribed Hydocodone, Levaquin, and Pyridium, but no alpha blocker post-surgery. I saw some of you had one precribed. Is that the usual?? So glad I drove the 3 hours......this was a cinch compared even to my laproscopic gall-bladder and 1/1000 the pain of the repair I had on the rotator cuff. DOn Would be unusual for an alpha blocker to be prescribed after a PVP. That is why you had the PVP done, to create a better channel for strong flow. The alpha blocker is to relax the muscles so the you can get a better, albeit, not good flow. Jack >I had my PVP done on Monday. They were running late and I almost backed > out.

So at 8 weeks after PVP, I am off the Uroxatral since flow is good. When I had the TUMT last July, I went back on Uroxatral after the procedure because the flow was very dimished due to swelling. > I had my PVP done on Monday.

Was prescribed Flomax because it relieved symptoms by URO's PA. It helped for a week or so but since then the burning diminished and I felt the Flomax made me too dizzy. According to PA it was to relieve symptoms more that to help the flow. I'm now exactly 3 weeks post PVP. My experience was the same as yours - basically zero pain after the first two voidings. And no, my uro did not prescribe alpha blockers. Mr. B >I had my PVP done on Monday. They were running late and I almost backed > out.

I think it depends if you had previously been on them or not. > I had my PVP done on Monday. They were running late and I almost backed > out.
