Hello,

I had a PVP 7 month ago by Dr. Bachmann at Basel University hospital.
My prostate was 100 gr.
At first, it seemed to be a fast and normal recovery but after 6 weeks
I've got an infection (suffered from chronic inflammation before the
operation), that was followed by sever bleeding and sloughing of
necrotic tissue. This lasted for 6 days. After that things began to
heal but in a much slower pace. After 6 month it seemed to by
stabilizing, but then, without any early warning sign the bleeding
came back. Now I have blood in the urine at list once a day, after
which the prostate seems to be expanding and causing very small flow
rate during urination. Sometimes there are small necrotic pieces the
the urine.

I have tried anti-inflammatory drugs with antibiotics for the
inflammation for two weeks but with very little success. Now my
urologist is talking of a new operation - TURP this time, because the
PVP had obviously such poor results.

I'm skeptical of a new procedure, because is its an inflammation
related problem there is no guaranty it will not return after the TURP
too.

Any ideas how to tackle this?

Thanks
