I just wondered , I thought there was at least one person that was a
member of this group that had to have at least 2 PVP's done. I wondered
1) What was the reason (was the prostate so large they couldn't get it
all on one try or what???)

Men have solved their BPH problem with a new treatment called
(E.S.P.)Electrically Stimulated Peripheral Therapy.
This treatment has been reported to reduce swelling and pain within the
first few treatments, sometimes earlier, and sent their BPH into remission!

Some Internet sites (commercial) refering to Dr...and Professors...studies
say that DHEA can shrink prostate due to the production of estrogens, others
recommand to keep away from it as the resulting increase of testosterone
will enlarge prostate and increase risk of cancer.

or ambulatory surgical centers.  Is there any reason why this procedure
is not available in doctor offices?
Thanks,

Just checking again:  anyone have any experience with him (he is listed as a
PVP uro on the laserscope site).

Has the combination of cardura and proscar helped you ??????

I had as TUEVAP at UCLA about 3 years ago for a midde lobe obstruction
in 50 gram prostate. I had retention and self cath for 7 weeks and
began to double void well enough. I was told I have severe
trabeculation of bladder with diverticula. I am now in full retention

In us older men, it appears that prostate enlargement prevents fully
emptying the bladder
when one micturates.  At least, so I have read.
My personal experience is that I cannot go too long without peeing. Maybe

Had the first opportunity to roadtest the system after PVP done Feb 23.
  Get some flow of semen, but miss the contractions of
ejaculation/orgasm.  Is that typical to those of you who have had PVP?
Do the contractions come back as one gets further into recovery?

Having already had two TURPs (and probably soon to need a third), I
wonder why a solution to BHP is not the use of a stent inserted in the
urethra to it keeps the flow stream open.
It works for arteries. It is less invasive.

Well my story is like this.  I've had urinary problems since the age of 14.
Just recently followed through with many tests and finally found the
problem.  My prostate is too tight.  I had the Urodynamic test done last
week and it took my nearly 10 minutes to finish urinating.  Even ...

I had the holium lazer surgery on the 28th of april and I am Still
bleeding any one else had bleeding that long. I also have some pain in
my penus shaft but none back futher. Cann't empty my bladder.

I decided it is time to do another update on my 150 gram prostate done Jan
12th 05 with the PVP Laser.
On April 28 I passed what appeared to be a scab the size of a finger nail.
No blood just a scab.  The previous two days I had started to ride by

I thought the link to the following article might help some folks with their
decisions as to treatment:
The April 2005 issue of Urology Times reported study results from Robert E.
Reiter, M.D., Professor of Urology at UCLA, demonstrating the benefits of
