Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / January 2007Indigo Laser Surgery for BHP
Has anyone had any results? I had the procedure July 19 ... Want to "compare notes" with anyone who's had this. I'm 52. I'm drinking 2 liters a day. Peeing all the time but never seem to empty the bladder. Still see blood clots after two weeks. > Has anyone had any results? I had the procedure July 19 ...

Not familiar with the indigo laser, but blood clots and frequent urination are common up to two months after greenlight laser PVP. You bladder should be emptying, though. It may seem like it's not since you're peeing so frequently, but that's probably a false urgency rather than retention. Hang in there Peter. You're still in the early stages of healing. They don't tell you this, but it takes two or three months for most of us. Thanks, Steve. The Indigo can be read more of here: http://www.enlargedprostateinfo.com/epi/htdocs/home.jsp I know the healing is long, I just don't like the blood. I take Plavix and Asprin for cardio stents inserted 2 years ago. Cardiologist allowed me to come off for 5 days, but wanted me back on. Urine never comes out clear ... Guess it is faint blood in urine. I'm just tired of this. Not to mention I want to resume my sex life w/my wife!!!

You [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Peeing all the time but never seem to empty the bladder. Still see blood >> clots after two weeks. Indigo uses an infrared wavelength laser and does not remove any tissue by ablation as does PVP or Holap. The procedure is called "interstitial laser coagulation" which is killing of tissue insitu. Your body will slowly resorb the dead tissue so there will be no immediate relief. Not a whole lot different than microwave therapy at least in theory and probably about equal in effectiveness.. > Has anyone had any results? I had the procedure July 19 ...

Hi Peter, My urologist suggested to have Indigo laser done. I'm just wondering how are you doing these days after your surgery last July. I'm still debating whether to have this procedure done or wait a while. Thanks for the information. >Has anyone had any results? I had the procedure July 19 ...
