I would appreciate hearing from anyone who had a median lobe protruding into the bladder or bladder neck and has undergone PVP surgery.
I am not blocked, but because my enlarged median lobe pushes into the bladder, my uro tells me that is the cause of my frequency (due to reduced bladder capacity). My frequency need is at minimum a nuisance, bordering on a minor handicap. I'd like to do something other than taking Proscar, which has arrested the enlargement but not reversed or shrunk it. I'm 69 years old and feel I'm on a tether due to the frequency. I'm mistrusting of any professional who has an economic stake in my decision. Same applies to those promoting the procedure. That's why I'd welcome first hand accounts. I feel they're more honest.
In replying, could you advise how the surgery has affected your frequency and whether the surgeon worked ONLY on the median lobe or sought to vaporize most of the enlarged tissue throughout the prostate.
Thanks,
Rob
