I can understand what you are saying as I have endured BPH for over 10
years. Been taking terazosin, an alpha blocker for most of that time.
It was very effective in the beginning. I went from 5 times nightly to
once.
However, this year I have experienced a further prostate enlargement
which meant getting up every two hours. This was very disruptive to my
sleep.
My urologist finally said it is time to deal with the problem and he
recommended the TURP(trans urethral resection of the prostate). I had
it done last Tuesday- 6 days ago.
I have stayed with the alpha blocker for the time being. It is my hope
to get off the medication once I am fully healed.
I had the surgery at 230 pm while under a spinal anaesthesia which
meant that i was not fully asleep, neither was i really aware of the
surgery as they gave me an additional sedative. By 330 I was fully
awake and in recovery. by 730 pm I was having dinner in a restaurant
on my way home.
There was never any need for painkillers post surgery which amazed me.
for a couple of days I felt a burning sensation on urination but after
4 days that went away entirely. I only had a catheter for the first
night and I took it out at home in the morning.
So far, so good. It remains to be seen if I will flow well without
meds but I suspect I am headed in that direction.
It seems to me that your bph is well controlled if you are only
getting up once nightly. Perhaps you are rolling over when the urge to
pee comes on you and it is not really caused by a different sleeping
position.
