Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / June 2009Eight full days after PVP
It is now almost the Saturday After my PVP treatment on the Thursday before Christmas. There is no pain, no obvious bleeding, and no bad after effects. I can do everything I was able to do before the procedure. The only improvement I notice is that my peeing period to completion can be less than half of what it was before. I still pee only about 15 to 200 mL at a time. This means that the number of times I wake up at night to urinate has not changed substantially. What has been the experience of those having this Greenlight procedure in termof urin volume and frequency in the days and weeks after the surgery? Bill  SignaturePrivate Profit; Public Poop!

Before my TURP+laser (19 days ago), I would pee up to 250 mL at a time and awake about every 3 hours (twice per night), now I pee up to 600 mL at a time and sleep 6 hours before I pee. For the first 3 or 4 days after surgery, I still awoke every 3 hours (habit?) but the sleep time increased over the next 3 or 4 days. My flow rate is greatly improved with 600 mL flowing in about half the time the 250 mL used to take. The only problem I'm having is that there is still some bleeding at the start of each stream, increasing later in the day, worse if I've been more active so I've tried to be a couch potato but that's been difficult with out-of-town relatives being here since Christmas. They leave tomorrow so I'll see if no activity solves my problem. The main reason I had this done was that my post-void retention had climbed over the last year from 115 mL to 825 mL so I was at risk of permanent bladder damage. At my one-week check-up my PVR dropped to 203 mL. Hopefully it may drop more at my scheduled one-month check- up. What was your PVR before and after the surgery?

It would come in a series of diminishing flows. There always was the temptation to stop too early. The getting finished with the task seems to be the big improvement so far. I am optimistic that there will be further improvement. I long for those 600 mL days. Bill SignaturePrivate Profit; Public Poop!

What was your PVR before and after the surgery? Isn't 600 ml about 20 ounces ? I thought I was only having moderate problems but I doubt I go over 10 ounces at a time. > Isn't 600 ml about 20 ounces ?

Right now I also would be happy to hit 300 mL. If I slept soundly in my younger days I could hit 600. Bill SignaturePrivate Profit; Public Poop!

Positive: Peeing and BMs much better Negative: Would be wearing diapers if not for daily keggles. (did not learn from any urologist) Retrograde is less. Fear scarring will set in through time. Urologists, including the one who did the procedure are sworn to secrecy when asked questions. I have to pry answers and read between the lines to come up with the course of treatment, instead of giving in to their whims: drugs or another procedure.
