This has been an excellent thread.   I like the logic, too, that if you
really need to have a surgical procedure done, then do it, ...being too
young is irrelevant.    Meds are there to help, but if the meds don't help,
then there is surgery.

Let me add a few points that have not yet been covered.

Because you are so young:  Did your doctors thoroughly test for, and rule
out, Prostatitis?   If not, why not?   Your age should have been an
indicator, in my opinion.    And, did they put you on more than one
antibiotic and as many as 3 if they were not certain of the specific
bacteria causing your prostatitis?  What about blood tests to determine if
one of your other hormones is a potential indicator of an endocrine problem
that might be treatable by an endocrinologist instead of a urologist?    If
not, Did you at least  have blood tests prescribed by your Urologists to
determine your DHT levels?   If you did, did you learn that you had
abnormally high DHT levels?   If you DHT is not alarmingly high, or at the
very least above average for your age range, can they explain why your
prostate is growing?   If the DHT levels are indeed very high, did your
doctors THEN put you on the highly publicized combination therapy of
"FLOMAX", [or UROXATROL, (XATROL), or one of the other 2 similar-acting
drugs], ...along with "PROSCAR" or "AVODART"?   Have you been on PRO or AVO
for at least 14 months without seeing any improvement, meaning, without the
prostate reducing in size somewhat?   Have they ruled out other causes of
prostate growth than the ones mentioned above?   (I did note did not
tolerate FLO or XATROL very well, but did you try the other two?)

These are just some questions I would force the doctors to grapple with if I
were going through this at age 34.
Here's wishing you all the best.

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!
