Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / March 2004PVP Thursday A..M. In Tucson
Gentlemen: Tomorrow (March 18) I get my PVP operation. I have waited eons for it and now it is about here. I hope I get the results that I have hoped for. 1. Relief from BPH symptons that I have had for 20 years 2. A good night's sleep.....at least once in a while. 3 A bit of the good life back in the years that I have reamining. I will keep you posted. Al in Arizona Al, Good Luck from Mel in Mesa, Arizona. I hope they get PVP in the Phoenix area soon. -Mel > Al, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -Mel Gentlemen: I had my PVP this morning. I am sitting here with a catheter implace. It will be there until Sunday when I will take it out myself. Right now it's not very pleasant but I am doing it. The doctor said that it was very evident that I needed to have this done. Hope he is correct. I will post later on about my progress. Al (near Tucson) Good luck Al - in your recovery! (Welcome to PVP Club). I suggest that you take a stool softener like Colace (maybe 2 a day) for the first couple weeks. Pushing can irritate prostate. I get 100 softgels for $2.89.

I will do it. I think that I will need all of the advise I can get. I'm now about 10 hours post operation. The catheter is still implace. I have a large bag with a large tube. It's not pretty but I'm adjusting. I will keep you posted. Your advise is most welcome. Once again the value of the internet. Al > Good luck Al - in your recovery!

I'm still taking them 3 months post 2nd PVP, and took for several months after my 1st PVP. I welcome any opposing information.

I have a urine bag strapped to my leg and it won't be removed until Monday. I didn't sleep a whole lot better last night but with the bag, I didn't have to get up. But....you know what.....I think that I am feeling better. Tomorrow may be different but today it seems to have been worth it. The doctor said that my urethra was almost blocked so I couldn't completely empty my bladder. Well I suspect it is empty right now. Perhaps it's empty for the first time in over 10 or more years. So....today at least.....I am feeling better. If my bladder was never empty....would that be reason enough to feel crappy for a very long time? I hope I am on to something. I will keep you all posted as my progress develops. Can't wait until Monday. Al in Arizona Gemtlemen: Today is Monday. Took the catheter off and I'm feeling sooooo much better. I am now post PVP by 4 days. Life is much better. So far I'm glad that I had it done. However, I have yet to pee with my new member. Will keep you informed. Al > Gentlemen: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Al in Arizona Hey Al, You could have at least peed before you posted. You're leaving us "hanging" here :) Ron > From: apfvrf@hotmail.com (Allen Fleming) > Organization: http://groups.google.com [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> >> Al in Arizona It's now 10:45 PM. He is in deep diddle if he still hasn't peed! MB > Hey Al, > You could have at least peed before you posted.

For some reason I didn't feel the urge to pee for quite some time after I removed my catheter. Well I finally did and the stream was weak and the amount was poor. Same thing all of the rest of the day. I could feel my bladder refilling and remaining so. Went to sleep last night. Got up my usual two times. Very weak stream and so my night's sleep wasn't all that great either. It's 6:30 am here in Tucson and I had to force much pee out. I'm most disappointed. I will call the physician today and see if he has an opinion. Sorry that I didn't get information out to you sooner. Al Al, Ask your surgeon - if at the end of the operation, Was there a clear open channel. What was the stream like before he put the cath in? Another possibility is a bladder deficiency. Did you have urodynamic (bladder) testing before surgery? Ron > From: apfvrf@hotmail.com (Allen Fleming) > Organization: http://groups.google.com [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Al |
