Hmmm.  Not in my case. I think retro is kinda like eating a meal without
adding salt when cooking.....I guess one can get used to food without salt,
but it is not as enjoyable.  Nonetheless, I do agree that it is nothing to
be "concerned" about, especially if fathering days are history.

Besides, if one can't reduce the size of a prostate with meds, then there is
likely no recourse except one of the operations.   Even with meds there is
probability of retro or even loss of libido, depending on the meds....in my
non-medical opinion.    All I can say is, wishing you the best of
outcomes...no pun intended.

Retro now about 10 & a half months post (2nd) PVP.
For me the feelings are not the same.

I had it 15 months ago.  I'm glad I did.  My prostate was very large. One
URO who did PVPs told me that my prostate was the biggest that he ever saw
in thirty years of practice. It took a lot of research on my part, but with
the help of the people on this news group I was directed to Dr. Lin in
Florida.  Dr Lin has dealt with large prostates and did mine.  I found that
the operation and the recovery was endurable.  It's not a walk in the park
like some have indicated.  There was painful burning urination for weeks
after the operation.  I did have "retro" for a long time but this is not a
big deal and it seems to be returning to normal.  At 65 years of age I can
now pee like a young man, sleep thru the night, and travel with out worry
about frequent need for a bath room.

I strongly urge you to find a highly recommended and experienced URO for the
PVP.  If one is not near where you live, travel to where one is.
