What does it means PVP?? Thanks http://www.laserscope.com/surgical/consumers/enlargedprostate.html > What does it means PVP?? > Thanks A question about PVP... Reading the data makes PVP look like a no brainer. Yet around here (Denver area), the uros I've called don't seem to acknowledge it. Seems they would be referring lots of pts to PVP. Of course they lose the TURP revenue. And the lines at the PVP places don't seem that long. Laserscopes stock does seem to be going up. What don't I understand? Seems like PVP & laserscopes should be growing like mad. Bill Hale No doctor is going to recommend a procedure he doesn't do. Many doctors aren't willing to invest big $$ in new equipment if they feel what they currently do is just fine. The PVP procedure is growing rapidly but if have read this newsgroup for a while, some have not had the tremendous benefit that others have enjoyed. According to the Laserscope website, there are 3 Denver doctors doing PVP, all at the Denver Urology Clinic. > A question about PVP... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > What don't I understand?

But, of course, that is true of any procedure. The important thing for me was, in contrast to other options, almost no one reported serious side effects of having the PVP. The same was not true of TURP. Read some more, brother. > From: me@invalid.invalid > Newsgroups: sci.med.prostate.bph [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > serious side effects of having the PVP.

I have the obstructive symptoms but not the irritative symptoms..I fear the pvp will cause me to have irritative symptoms...any thougts? > I have the obstructive symptoms but not the irritative symptoms..I fear the pvp > will cause me to have irritative symptoms...any thougts? Yes that is what happened to me. Burr |
