Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / March 2004PVP plus 6 months.
6 months after PVP I have a good stream, take no medication, and have no pain. Urgency has diminished but not completely. Frequency is still a problem. I get up three times at night, and during the day can never last more then two hours without the need to go. However, this is a great improvement over my condition before the operation. I still expect further improvement with time. Irv > 6 months after PVP I have a good stream, take no medication, and have no > pain. Urgency has diminished but not completely.

Do you find that your volume per "go" changes with the time of day or night?

Getting started and like a garden hose thereafter. I was getting up every one half to one hour. Very sleep deprived. My uro put me on Detrol. For me it makes a substatial difference. Getting up a couple times a night. Sleeping about 3 and a half hours at a time. Also the urgency is much improved. Detrol seems to be an amazing drug for me. If you continue to have the frequency problem you might ask your uro for a sample. My uro says that I won't have to take it forever.

I had a complete urological exam last week and my guy concluded that BPH is not my problem. My prostate was only 20 g (although I have a slight median lobe enlargement) according to the TRUS and my retention was 0. He gave me a months supply of Detrol. I have taken 7 and don't see any real difference (I was getting up once per night and still am). Daytime frequency is my problem. No relief yet. He said I should see some effect in about 5 days. > I had my PVP on Jan 22 2004. I am in good shape as far as stream. Getting > started and like a garden hose thereafter.

If I do, it just dribbles out, probably due to my median lobe which acts as a "stopper." My flow test at the uro was poor because the nurse had me give a specimen when I got there and 45 min later I didn't have much left (not to mentioned the trauma caused by the cystoscope exam!) > Do you have a decent flow?

I did not have a terribly large prostate. I had an obstruction caused by a burn from TUMT. I had PVP mainly to remove scar tissue. Burr Yes the PVP worked wonders for the flow and it was not effected by the Detrol. Burr > Do you have a decent flow? Still good after the Detrol? Thanks, Jim W. Hi I noted a remarkable effect when I took the first pill. IMO if it hasn't worked by now it probably won't. It is for bladder spasms or overactive bladder. My uro gave me two weeks worth in samples and said to get a script if it helped by then. I have asked for the script as it is the best thing since sliced bread for me. Best of luck to you and all, Burr > How long before you noticed an effect from the Detrol. I had a complete > urological exam last week and my guy concluded that BPH is not my problem.
