What is the typical wait after the surgery before one can use his auto
again?

A few years ago I read an article about Lycopene and tried to buy some at a
local herbalists in Edinburgh. They told me that they no longer stocked it
as they did not believe that it was beneficial. It has cropped up agan today
in another article in the same paper. Has anyone tried ...

My father, who is 66 now, has the following history:
09/94 PSA = 4.9
10/97 PSA = 8.0
11/97 PSA = 12.0

Contrary to the glowing reports in the Laserscope literature, my urologist
has indicated he wants me admitted for one night.  Is this typical or is my
guy just conservative?

Just like to know if there are any other doctors/hospitals carrying out or
proposing to carry out PVP's.
I have already amassed an amount of positive posts for this. I need this
information for my GP.

I'm wondering if their is anyone out there who has had a Niagara PVP done at
Our lady of Bellenfonte Hospital in Ashland, Kentucky and what were the
results.
Thanks for a reply.   Dean,

Ok so BPH isn,t enough? Ive been taking Proscar and Hytin now for about 3
years. Recently we've all been reading contradictory reports about Proscar
actually causing prostate cancer. Another artical will say it prevents the
same cancer. Does anyone really know the facts?

Just started using Flomax.  Am having a stuffy nose and headache.  I
know these are common side effects.  Just wondering... will they last
as long as I'm on Flomax or will they subside?  Also... how long
before I can expect the Flomax to start working?  Thanks!

The big day, had the catheter removed.(no big deal). Was told to drink
LOTS of liquid, then come back in the afternoon for a ultrasound to see
how the bladder was being voided.
A few hours later, lots of liquid, and NO WAY to pee. Back to the uro in

An informative thread on the above in the uk.legal newsgroup if anyone
reading this is having problems getting referred for PVP under the NHS here
in the UK.

I have posted here before because my urologist had recommended (2
years ago) that I get HoLEP. Of course, I have been putting off any
surgery as long as I can.  I now have a 117 gram prostate, 7 negative
PCa biopsies…and, recently I have had a very a bad irritation.

My uro tells me that according to conclusive scientific studies
Proscar prevents cancer. It also shrinks the prostate gland. Does
anybody have an opinion on this?

Saw my GP last month in respect of completing the blood tests Dr Muir
requires before consultation, had tests done last week, should get results
this week (Wed).
GP states I must go private because NHS will not fund the op unless referred

Day 2 after the TUNA. 3 or 4 clots passed, no other blood.
Pain mostly gone now.  Laying low, catheter has another 2 days
to go. Biggest 'pain' was the first BM.

Today I saw my regular uro in Seattle for the yearly DRE. All is well.
I informed him about PVP by Dr Laub in Santa Barbara in May. He was
impressed with the results and understanding for going out of town for
treatment. We have now PVP in Seatlle.
