Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / January 2007PVP
On Januaty 12, 2006, I had a PVP procedure done by Dr. John G. Giannakis of The Woodlands, Texas. He had promissed that there wouldn't be any side effects other than retro. Beside the continuous burning sensation, two months after the procedure, my flow started to become weaker and weaker. He said that scar tissues were building up and that was normal. He suggested to do a "MINI-TURP" to remove them and that would take care of the problem once and for all. I got suspicious and saw another urologist. After a systoscopy, he said that the scar tissues need to be removed surgically. On September 5, 2006, I had the "MINI-TURP" done. The flow improved, however, three weeks ago the flow started to get weaker again. He had told me that there is a 10-15% chance that scar tissues would build up again because of the lack of blood flow that caused by the PVP laser. I would like to mention that the burning sesation never stopped since the PVP procedure back in January. With two procedures in the same year, I don't know what can be done next. Does anyone out there know anything about this? I would appreciate any information.

Up to this point, your saga sounds like a repeat of one I had using TUMT. I went to a urologist who cured my wife's urinary infection. She raved over him. His torturous approach was to dilators to open up the channel. I dropped him fast. >I got suspicious and saw another urologist.

Are you still having this problem? I am helping urologists make a better living! I had another TUMT that proved to be even less effective than the first. I was ready to bite the bullet to get a TURP. My uro said that the new water cooled technology for a third TUMT is worth a shot before going to TURP. Well, it sure was more uncomfortable than the previous treatments. I cannot say that I see an improvement after about 6 weeks. If it worked, I should start seeing improvement soon. Is there any truth to getting more help from foul tasting medicine compared to palatable medicine?

He did a cystocopy and told me that I have scar tissues building again and causing a weak flow. He advised me to do "Internal Urethrotomy". This procedure intails one or two incisions in the scar tissues followed by a periodic dilating (initially every week then every two weeks then every 4 weeks) for the first 6 months then semi annually thereafter. Also I may have to catheterize myself in between. All this to keep my urethra open and prevent scar tissue from building up. At this time and after the hell I've been through, I don't know what to do. Does anyone outthere know anything about this procedure? Please help!
