I had a PVP last week with Dr. Lin.  Everything went well and I am doing good
so far.  However, after the procedure while I was in the post op recovery
room,  I asked the nurse if I could have a bowel movement and sit up in the
recliner in the room.  She said no problem.  So I did ...

Have had BPH for 10 yrs, since about age 44. PSA has always been
between 1 and 1.9. Started on flomax 6 months ago. PSA last week was
5.4. Waiting to talk to uro.
How common is slightly raised PSA when one has BPH? Wondering if he

OVer the past few years I have had many bladder infections.
BPH was getting worse and finally about 1.5years ago had
a successful PVP. Flow is great, make it through the nites
without waking, everything seems to work just fine.

Is it safe to have PVP if there is suspicion of prostate cancer? One
point of view says, no problem: if there is cancer, it is on the outer
edge of the prostate, while PVP "cores the apple," that is, tunnels

About two years ago I had a PVP done on my very, very large prostate.  I
live in Manassas VA but ended up traveling all the way to Florida to have

Dr. Sancha...We haven't heard from you in a while.  I know you are an
extremely busy person, and getting more so all the time, it seems.  I am
just checking to see if you are still going to participate in our ng (it
will be a tremendous loss if not).  I am sure the group will ...

Tomorrow I will be having a PVP by Dr Lin for a 67 gram prostage.   He has
done over 200 procedures and tells me he will be able to do it with very
little or no bleeding compared to a Turp with significant bleeding.   I will
spend thje night in the hospital and be released early the ...

I'm now 22 days post-pvp. Apparently had normal sized prostate but with
medial lobe problem. While my stream has picked up some strength and I
have weaned myself from Flomax 3 or 4 days ago, I still have a lot of
stinging when voiding, but my main problem is frequency/urgency. I've

it was too big(127 gms). He wants me to go on avodart for 4 mos to try
to shrink it to 100 gms or less so he can do the procedure. Ive been on

Forlorn's last post leads me to try and help.  He is a very good
writer, as you will see if you read his previous posts.  I will simply
go to the point

My uro has given me a prescription for Proscar but he says it
might take over a year to see any benefit. Have any of you
taken Proscar for that duration and seen a benefit? Flomax
has provided an immediate benefit, will that decrease in
