Not feeling that great. On cipro and tytlenol, Fever 101.4 Got u
about 5 times first night home and that is like before. What can
expect

Can't speak to the fever part - guess I was lucky in that regard.  But like
you I got up 5 or more times per night for a number of weeks following my
PVP.  Now, three months later, I'm down to once per night, and I continue to
feel a bit better week by week.

I'd make sure your Dr. knows about your fever.

Definitely let the doc know about the fever. I started running a fever about
two days after my PVP. Turned out to be a UI. The doc had to change the
antibiotic, and do a urine culture to identify the strain of bacteria. The
new antibiotic worked and got things back on track in 48 hours.

Before my PVP I rarely needed to get up at night. For about the first week I
needed to get up usually once a night due to urgency. YMMV

Definitely let your uro know. I had a low grade fever for a week following
pvp and my uro extended my course of antibiotics, which in my case was Keflex
because I am allergic to Cipro, the drug of choice.

Unlike some lucky bastards who have had pvp and immediately resumed normal
activity, I felt lousy for quite a long time with continued poor flow as well.
My nocturia was worse than before pvp, getting worse over the first two
months before getting better.

Three months later all is well and as of the past week the urgency factor has
almost gone. My uro told me that he felt pvp caused more irritation to the
prostate than other procedures, possibly the laser wavelength giving the
prostate a bad case of sunburn. He also mentioned 50% of his patients took 3-
4 months to see results and the other 50% saw immediate improvement.
