I've decided to see a urologist visit about my BPH.  I assume I'm a
candidate for surgical treatment based on the lack of effectiveness of
either saw palmetto, beta sistosterol, or Flowmax (prescribed by my GP).
Based on the anecdotal evidence from this newsgroup and a layman's knowledge
of the various surgical treatments, I'm convinced that PVP is the way to go
if one needs surgery.

I know a number of you visited a local uro before going out of town to get
your PVP performed.  No one locally does PVP, the closest PVP uro is about
70 miles away.  Would you recommend going directly to the PVP-capable doctor
and not wasting my (or the local doctor's) time with a local evaluation?
