Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / February 2007Leaking
If I get the Laser, I'm worried that the leaking I have now will become worse. The leak is just a trace amount and happens mostly when my bladder is full, although it does happen when it isn't. Sometimes it feels like my bladder is pumping away and I can't stop it. When I say trace amount, I mean it is barely enough to wet my shorts, but I stick a tissue in there just in case. What a great thing, huh? Anyway, has anyone had this symptom before PVP and what were the results after? Thanks for the posts.

Before PVP I didn't leak but was retaining quite a bit. Now I empty. My problem is that I don't have the volume I would like to have. Maybe 10 oz (300 cc) maximum. But at least when I go it is fast!! > mjlan...@comcast.net wrote: > > If I get the Laser, I'm worried that the leaking I have now will [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > like to have.

Seems to happen more during the week when I'm at my office job and less when I'm working around the house. Dr. Laub suspects that due to my lack of sex for a few years, that muscle has weakened. Maybe I just need a woman....occassionally. Anyway, I'd hate for it to worsen. It's already difficult to handle emotionally. Thanks for the feedback though.

We are mostly bph guys that have trouble emptying out and due to restricted flow. I had similar leakage before my PVP - nothing serious, just a few drops now and then. That has pretty much gone away post-PVP. Like somebody else said, my volume isn't great (but it never was), but it comes out FAST, and stops immediately when I'm done. No leaks, no complaints. PVP was about a year ago. > >> mjlan...@comcast.net wrote: > >>> If I get the Laser, I'm worried that the leaking I have now will [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > treatment is going to help.

PVP was about a year ago. Did you have retention? I would expect that leakage might be due to that but he says his bladder empties. I would still have several ounces in my bladder after going. Now almost empty every time. > >> mjlan...@comcast.net wrote: > >>> If I get the Laser, I'm worried that the leaking I have now will [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > treatment is going to help.

Most night, I'm up at least once to pee. Then, there's this damn leak that is worse when I have a full bladder. I have tried the Kegal exercises and it did help....a little, though not much. Both uros said they don't really know why I leak. Unless I went into retention, I'd rather live with the bhp symptoms, than have a worse leaking problem after PVP. Mike Try the Kegel exercises. I have never had a leaking problem before my PVP 2/23/05. However, before my PVP, I talked to a 79 yr old patient of my URO who had a PVP 1/19/05. Before his PVP he was having a leaking problem. He reported that after his procedure he no longer had his drip. He was a very satisfied customer and was very happy with his outcome. "I hardly think about my prostate anymore." That is one man's experience. > If I get the Laser, I'm worried that the leaking I have now will > become worse.
