The URO talked me into it over PVP saying I could always have the PVP but not the other way around.
Fortunately the woman that performed most of the procedure called me the night before and gave me a full rundown on what to expect. More fortunately I did not experience half of the effects, such as bladder spasms during the procedure, that she said might happen. It is not a painless procedure but all I really experienced were a few when things were inserted and removed. Nothing during the procedure and nothing after.
I did go from getting up at least every two hours or more often to getting up twice a night. Perhaps next I will try the PVP.
I too had bad reactions to the Flomax.
Does your uros do PVP?
Some information on TUMT on the Urologix site:

They make both the Targis and Prostatron machines.

Hi, I'm a 34-year-old who has been dealing with moderate BPH the past few years. Tried Flomax and Urotraxal and had bad reactions to them, and after conssulting with 2 uros have opted to get trans urethral microwave therapy done in January rather than anything more invasive which I'd like to avoid since I'm pretty young for all this. Long story short, would like to get opinions from anyone that may have had it done. Hard to find real experiences and opinions out there on the Internet on this. I'd like to hear anyone's experiences if they have them. Thanks!
