I stopped passing any blood in my urine after three weeks and only had one bit that could be regarded as a clot. I had no sign of scabs but little bread crumb pieces are sometimes passed, including one yesterday. I have not had any blood in my ejaculation, I think that you should get that checked out as a matter of urgency. I am going for my first check up on Friday and await with interest to see what my flow rate and retention will be. My stream is not a great as I expected and I have get up two or three times in the night compared to 3/5 times before the procedure. My night time problem seems be nocturia and not to be connected to the PVP and the volumes I pass each time during the night (500ml) are more than during the day. Derek.

I had green laser about 1 1/2 years ago. For me, it was not as great as made out to be. I probably should have heeded another doc's advise to use the "gold standard" which was TURP. For me, it wasn't simply a 2 - 4 week recovery. I am still experiencing abnormal things, however, a lot has improved over the 1 1/2 years. Urine flow is much stronger and I only get up twice a night to go. My greatest problem is after ejaculation, when I urinate, a lot a blood comes out, even in clumps. Either my doc screwed up or it is not uncommon for this procedure.

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.
