Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / June 2004PVP after having a TUMT Research
I had a TUMT about 15 months ago. It was great after 3 months and after 7 months the results began to deteriorate so that I decided to have a PVP because of all the good things mentioned in this group. I had the PVP over three months ago and have had no beneficial results. Still have urgency and even had a couple of accidents. The urologist did a cystoscopy a couple of weeks ago and says there is a clear channel into the bladder but the tissue where the PVP was done looks ragged and unhealed. He wondered if having a TUMT could be the problem because that destroys some blood vessels in the prostate and it is the blood which helps the healing. He said there is nothing written on this in the literature so I am asking this group "How many of you had PVP after a failed TUMT and how quickly did you heal after the procedure and did you have many post-op problems?" > I had a TUMT about 15 months ago.

TUMT is not done in the UK as fas as I understand it tends to be a USA proceedure and from what I have read is not favoured by good urologists I suspect it is indeed the reason why PVP has now failed .......personally i am nothing but delighted with the results of PVP I had a TUMT. It did nothing for me. It shouldn't have been done because I had a large median lobe and TUMT can treat that condition. Fortunately the TUMT did no harm and seven months later I had a successful PVP. I can see that if the microwave heating is deep enough it could destroy tissue, making PVP less effective and harder to heal. Patrick > I had a TUMT about 15 months ago.
