Re: Any bad PVP experiences?

He scratched his head and said "well, I'll be damned, must be something
to do with your bladder." He offered to do another cystoscopy (at my
expense), but I quoted the old adage "Fool me once......etc." and plan
to see somebody else after reviewing my situation. I suspect it will
be a while before I'll regain any confidence in the profession. though.

What explanation were you given for the second failure?
Derek.

Rich 256:
I've had two PVP treatments without any benefit. After the first (Dec
03), which had no effect on my symptoms, my uro did a second cysoscopy
and reported that some residual scar tissue from the first operation
was the culprit. Against my better judgement, I agreed to a second PVP
in December 2004, which was also ineffective in relieving my symptoms.
It seems that everybody else is doing well after PVP and I'm happy for
them. I wish I could join them. The odds sure are favorable.

I have been following this group for quite a while. PVP is continuously
praised. I just wonder if anyone has had or has heard of any bad
experiences. One post said something to that effect but did not give any
details.
Others report good results with TURP but a few have with what might be
called horror stories.
