As I don't feel like surgery, I started today ...

I guess I assumed all lasers were alike.I saw a Urologist who strongly
recommended a PVP with a greenlight laser..........who is about 60
miles away. However, he does not participate with any insurances. His

Why is it that I have no problem passing water during the day, yet I wake-up
three times during the night needing to go and then only manage a trickle?
And even that takes a long time and a lot of coaxing.
Then in the morning after moving around for approx. half an hour, ...

I am 68, my prostate was 50 grams, and my symptom score was 21 even
while taking alpha blockers (terazosin 10 mg).  I had a ThermatRX
microwave procedure 3 years ago which did not give lasting relief, and

I cannot find a doctor in Albany, NY that does PVP.  I realize I will have
