Hi -
  My husband has been posting to this group, as he recently had  PVP
surgery (6 weeks ago).  He has been experiencing a lot of intermittent
urgency and pain post-surgery, that seems to have gotten worse recently.  He
spoke with a urologist just now who informed him that the healing process
can take at least 3 months, and that this kind of discomfort is to be
expected.  Basically, the lining of the urethra has been destroyed and is
rebuilding itself.  This leaves the tissues extremely tender and vulnerable.
  I wanted to let you all know, because the Laserscope website, which of
course is marketing PVP, presents a rather rosy picture. Also, sometimes the
docs don't inform their patients as well as they might about what might be
expected, or how long healing really takes.  It really helps at least to
normalize these kind of distressing symptoms, to know that they are still
part of the natural healing process.
  I wish you all well in your decisions/surgery/healing!
Sasha
