Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2004PVP And Bladder Control
I have been advised to have a PVP. The surgeon says that he has down about 40 of them and has a very high satisfaction rate. He warned me to expect bladder control problems for 30 to 40 days after the procedure and to plan on using pads. This surprised me. My question is for those of you that have had the procedure done. Did you find bladder control issues severe enough to need pads? If so was this during the day or while sleeping? How long did it take to eliminate the problem? Or is it possible this could be a long term issue? One final question. Are 40 PVP procedures enough to be considered competent? Randy no bladder problems here. 40 s/b very sufficient. talk to some of the patients. > I have been advised to have a PVP.

The next day after the catheter was removed, I needed a pad for about a day. I have had no bladder control problems since the operation. I am very very satisified with the results of this procedure. You might ask the doctor if his recommendaton had something to do with the amount of your prostate penetration into the bladder or some other item peculiar to you. Laserscope does not mention bladder control in their documentation that I have, regarding possible complications. Good luck, Bob |
