Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / May 2005had the holium laser surgery
I had the Holium laser surgery on My Prostrate last Thursday at the St Joseph Hospital in Nashua , New Hampshire. Had a lot of bleeding so had to spend the night. I had to keep a catheter in all week in and I hated that but I have been on aspirin for 15 yrs so I am not to surprised. My urologist was Dr Gary Dunetz in Nashua I recommend him both as a person and as a surgeon. as of now I am into the 5 day and the bleeding has stopped but I must have a small clot because I am having a hard time peeing. I am a little sore but nothing that even requires a aspirin. I believe He will also be doing the laser scope very shortly. Will let you Know but right now I am very happy with the results. I was very unhappy I had to Keep The catheter in I waited for years to have it fixed so I could avoid that with the turp. But I know he did what needed to be done. Glad you're feeling better. Regarding your catheter 'experience', I note that I am now 1 month post PVP and doing well. What I do not understand, and what was never answered on this forum, is why I NEVER had a catheter. I woke up from the procedure without one. I thought that a catheter was part of the post surgery regimen of any of the various prostate procedures. Did any of the other PVP veterans here avoid the catheter as well? Mr. B >I had the Holium laser surgery on My Prostrate last Thursday at the St > Joseph Hospital in Nashua , New Hampshire.

I am 61 yr old who had PVP Feb 23 (10 weeks ago today) in Portland, OR. I did not have a catheter after the procedure, but they had to catheterize me at the hospital before releasing me (procedure at 2pm and catheterization about 5 pm) and had to self catherize x2 (8pm and 2:30 am) during the first 12 hours after the procedure. No problem urinating after the first 12 hours except for the burning discomfort. Very little blood after 12 hours. Have no explanation why some PVP patients come out of surgery with a cath and others do not. Same URO did not put in catheter after TUMT July 2, 04, and had to self catherize daily at bedtime for the first week. > Glad you're feeling better. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>I waited for years to have it fixed so I could avoid that with the >>turp.

I am 69 years old and live in NH. I lived in Vanport, OR back during the second world warMy Father worked for the Ship yard. I Think That is the Prettiest part of the Conutry. we were out there 5 years ago a just loved it. Of course VP was was away buy the columbia river just after the war was over and janzen beach had a walmart on it. Chockman, wasn't it painful self cathing so soon after pvp? did you have any problems with it? Hi Magna... I had to self catherize both post TUMT (several times a day for the first day or so and at bedtime during the first week to deal with the urgency feeling at bedtime) and x2 during the 12 hr period after the PVP. I have no memory that self catheterization was any more uncomfortable after either of the two procedures. Of course there was some burning and feeling of discomfort while self catheterizing after both procedures, but I was on Pyridium after the PVP but not after the TUMT. Don't remember it as being a big deal. There was blood in the urine for the first couple of days after both procedures, but none after the first couple of days. > Chockman, wasn't it painful self cathing so soon after pvp? did you > have any problems with it? Hi Tom... Thanks for the information about Vanport. There have been occasional news reports on tv about Vanport, but not very much information. It is amazing how Vanport has nearly vanished off the map. Thanks. >>I am 61 yr old who had PVP Feb 23 (10 weeks ago today) in Portland, OR. >> I did not have a catheter after the procedure, but they had to [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > ago a just loved it.
