64 year old... 2 years ago diagnosed with BPH.
65 grams prostate as I recall.
Had a PVP by doc with lots of them performed.
Result was very good. Very little retention; great
stream. 470 ml bladder capacity Slept like a baby,
usually all night.
2 years out, retention has increased to 100ml.
350ml is a typical void during the day. Unfortunately,
during the night I'm awakened and pee about 150ml
max. Stream pretty good but dribbly at night.
PSA = 0.75 down some in last 2 years.
Went back to uro. He measured that retention with
ultrasound. He didn't do a cystoscope exam... I wish
he had. He gave me some Uroxatral. (I had an
awful time with Flomax before I had the PVP tho it
did give me decent flow.)
He said there might be scar tissue at the neck of
the bladder.
I'm not very happy with this answer. Will I have to
go to Madrid to get a better one? Any suggestions?

I am 62 yr old who had TUMT 7/2/04 followed by a PVP 2/23/05. Been
having some hesitancy problems (espcially at night) since Christmas.
Put on Detrol LA and Flomax. Average flow rate during the day is about
8-10 ml/sec and max 14 ml/sec. Hardly the 35 ml/sec max that I see
others report Have appt next week for flow test and possible cysto.
Will be interested to see what the URO finds. I don't like the idea of
being on Flomax or Uroxatral indefinitely.
