Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / July 2004urodynamics
I expect to have a PVP in the near future to remove large prostatic tissue. I have been advised to have urodynamic tests done prior to this operation. Is this necessary since tests have established the size of my prostate hence the need for the procedure. Incidentally,should Gordon Muir perform the PVP or are equally satisfactory results obtained from his team. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Have you seen Mr Muir? I suspect he will not need to do urodynamics as no one here has had reported him doing this. I too am considering a PVP with Mr Muir, after seeing a local Urologist. My symptoms are mainly frequency and poorish flow but lately I have had the feeeling of my bladder being full with no desire to pee. My main difficulty is that I feel I need some guidance from a uro or my gp as to how bad my symtoms are in relation to the possible risks with the after effects of a pvp. This I can't get and they all say it's up to you as to how much you will put up with. I'm late 50s High Wycombe area. > Have you seen Mr Muir?

I have no hesitation whatever in recomending Gordon Muir Given where you live you may already have seen one of the 2 local uros I consulted and walked away from My GP tried telling me after 2 yrs of discomfort and stop start stream "there was nothing they could do " yet when I saw Consultant No 1 Dec 2002 they said after ultrasound and flow test i was so bad ,had median lobe enlargement which drugs did not work on and i risked retention and needed immediate TURP which i ran a mile from Consultant No 2 put me on meds but they made no difference he too wanted to do a TURP ........so June 2003 saw Gordon Muir ..........had PVP in July 2003 walked into hospital at 7 am ........op at 9 am .....70gm removed .......walked out ....no catheter 12.30 pm could pee like a hosepipe and apart from pulling /stinging sensation which waned over the course of 3 months have nothing but praise for PVP ........no retro either Peter, Urodynamics will determine if you have a large median lobe growing into the bladder. If you have, it has to be removed mechanically and PVP is the best way to remove it. If you don't have a large median lobe, urodynamics test will help determine what the best couse of action is. It is not that bad of a test to endure and it does give a lot of information.

Patrick, Sounds like Eurodynamics! A foreign adventure. :) My problem is, as long as I take my Hytrin, I pee fine and have very little if any residual. Take me off the Hytrin for a day and I just don't pee other than a couple of drops per second. If they take me off Hytrin to do the test, I will be in agony. If they keep me on Hytrin for the test, it will show almost normal. Any ideas???

After all they are trying to evaluate your condition now and that condition is with Flomax or Hytrin. If you are fine with the meds why are you seeking treatment in the first place?

I've had a diminishing stream since I was 28 years old. I have been on Hytrin for about 12 years. I just don't want to take this stuff much longer. I'm with you there. Had PVP last week to get off the Flomax. Jim W. > > If you are fine with the meds why are you seeking > >treatment in the first place? > > I've had a diminishing stream since I was 28 years old.

Care to be more specific (only as much as you wish to be) as to who are or where you saw the first two uro's? Mine didn't seem to want to be questioned about anything. As I understand it quite the opposite to Mr Muir. Magna > Nambucca, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Magna The first one was an arrogant bastard although I understand his surgical skills are good The 2nd one was communicative but i was sceptical that his surgical skills were that good Muir was a definite breath of fresh air Unless you travelled south or west of your area I doubt you saw either of mine Nambucca Didn't go more than 15 miles so it looks unlikely that we saw the same.
