I had my PVP back on January 12 this year. Although the flow is way better
and there is no more sign or trace of blood, I'm still suffering from a
burning sensation every time at the end. Is this normal? How long will it
take to subside? Is there anyone who had this condition? I saw my uro a week
ago and he said it may take up to 3 months! Would appreciate any feedback or
advise

SHH, welcome to join the camp of PVP. I had my pvp done last August and
peak flow rate was improved from 5 ml/s to 30 ml/s. Now I do not have any
symptom of BPH but restro. I could not ask any more. Burning sensation is
quite normal, but 6 weeks after pvp, you should feel much better now. To me
it only lasted 4 to 5 weeks. Please share your experience with this NG to
help the new comers, for instance: who is your uro, hospital name,....

SHH,

It will subside. The epitelization of the prostatic fossa will take
three months, and some patients experience this burning sensation after
voiding. This responds very well to antiinflammatory drugs, and also
urine alkalinisation with sodium bicarbonate after lunch and dinner
might help.

Dr. Fernando,
Thank you very much for your reply and advice. I've started taking iboprophen
as an antiinflamotory drug and will contact my uro for a urine alkalinisation
with sodium bicarbonate drug prescription. Will keep you updated.

Thanks pc2121. I just found out that the recovery from PVP and its sypmtoms
differ from one person to the other depends on several factors (physical
condition, age..etc). At this time, I can do nothing but be patient and take
it one day at a time. Will definitely keep you updated.

I am about 9 months out from my pvp and the burning sensation did take 3-4
months to subside. Very satisfied with the results but do get up once per
night probably due more to habit. I did have retrograde for about 4 months
but that has corrected itself.

Patience. Good luck.

I had my PVP on January 11, the day before yours. I was a little disappointed
at first because I saw little benefit, but slowly things improved. I had
blood in my urine for about 5 weeks, and it wasn't until about 8 weeks that
the frequency of awakening at night to urinate decreased from a disturbing 4
or 5 times, which is what I experienced prior to PVP. But since mid-March,
I'm only awakening once at night despite not holding back on my fluid intakes
in the evening. I'm thrilled - no meds and getting a good nights sleep at
last. The one thing I read into these posts is, that while everyone responds
differently, more patience is required in the healing process than what the
doctors tell you. As for PVP - that's the way to go.
