Jim,

Your situation sounds very similar to mine.

Would it be possible to ask you for more details?

Thanks very much,

Had PVP about a year ago for median lobe protrusion.  Frequency has been cut
roughly in half in line with doubling of capacity.  I no longer define
myself as a person needing to pee frequently.  Jim W.

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
