I had a pvp greenlight laser 2 weeks ago and am extremely happy with
the results.I only had the catheder in for 24 hours and my flow was
excellent right afterwards[it had been extremely hard for me to
urinate before]My urologist had reccomended Tuna but after researching
it I didn't want that.My urologist didn't do pvp and I had to travel
350 miles to Rochester Ny to have it done[well worth it].The worst
part of the whole procedure was the 24 hours wearing the catheder in
the hospital.I was able to go back to everything I do next day except
for strenuous excercise[I am ajogger and it has been 2 weeks and I
still haven't jogged].I am traveling back to the doctor this week for
a followup and hoping he will say it is ok to resume my exercise
routine.But my experience convinced me pvp was the right choice and
would encourage others to do it.

You may also want to consider TUMT which is a microwave treatment.

I had one done about 3 months ago with good results and no side
affects. The worst part is the catheder that you need in for about 1
week after the procedure. The procedure took about 2 hours with setup
and 1 hour of actual treatment.

Hi There,

My name is Lenny, I have an enlarge prostate(BPH) and I need some help in
making a decision if I should have surgery for enlarge prostate (BPH) or to
continued with my meds. (I am presently taking Flomax and Avodart). I am
hoping that someone in this newsgroup can help point me in the right
direction because I am a bit confused as to what to do. My doctor is pushing
this surgery called (TUNA)
Transurethral needle ablation.

What are the pros or cons about this procedure?

How will it affect my erection after the surgery?

I thank you all inadvance for your help.

Lenny.
