Just a comment about your posts:
I think we know you're "not a doctor" and that it is always your

I think we assume that for all of us unless someone does identify as a doc.

Laserscope posted quarterly results today and said they sold 10,000 fibers
in the past 3 months.  This means that there are now over 3000 PVPs are
being done every month around the country.
They also estimated the worldwide market for PVPs to be over 1 million per

saw this thing on the news about a new way to treat prostate cancer and they
said they would try it on other cancers...they implant little radioactive
pellets in the prostate and they dissolve and leave your system after 10

I am a 58 year old male who thought he was fit and well until the beginning
of September.  I came back from holidays on Saturday 4th feeling great but
on the Monday I felt feverish, hands shaking, slightly nauseous, the lot.
That night I kept getting up to urinate, something I ...

I recently went to the Hattiesburg Clinic Urology Dept(Hattiesburg,
Mississippi) and saw Dr. Randolph Ross.  He suggested the Indigo Laser
Treatment.  He did say that retro-ejaculation is still a strong
possibility with this non-invasive surgery.  I want to know what kind

Has anyone tried Trinovin for BPH and if so what were the results.

Hi, all,
I have been following these postings, but I have one question.
Just what effect do anti-inflamatory medications have on the prostate,
enlarged or otherwise?

I had my PVP 15 and half months ago.  After a painful period of recovery
that I would like to forget, I considered the operation a success and still
do.  Today I was surprised when my urine looked dark and left an inch long
chunk of dark tissue in the toilet.

Been told it is a number of times, now. I have had CP since the middle 80s
when the pain became noticeable and was diagnosed with CP in 99. So far,

it is only once and not there the next time.

I am 49 yo and I recently have been advised to have PVP laser surgery
for BPH. Since I am relatively young to have BPH that requires
surgery, and the fact that I don't yet have any children, I am
concerned about fertility after the surgery. I know retrograde

I had a PVP A year ago to correct three previous episodes of total retention
at that time I was told that after the PVP I wouldn't have anymore total
retention. Two weeks ago I was in the hospital to have a pacemaker installed
after the surgery I woke up with total retention again ...

This is not meant to be a oissing contest.
After two TUMT procedures, I still have to get up at night more often than I
would like. I have a bucket near my bed so I do not have to stumble to the
bathroom in the dark. No matter how thirsty I am at night I always manage to

On 20 August I underwent the PVP procedure with quite satisfactory
results. Any remaining problems that I have are fairly obviously
