An Intimate question.

Thanks for the quick responce.

Good to hear the treatment you had has had some positive effect, let's hope it continues to improve.

I changed urologist from my original that I had been seeing for several years for too frequent urination problems, prostatitis, and several bladder lock-ups where I could not pee and had go to the ER to get a Foley catheter put in, and I think was just taking my money and was not really helping me. To this new Doctor/Urologist, that on the first visit said, that between the Good Lord and himself, he would get me fixed as fast as possible, and he could do any procedure needed; Button Plasma Vaporization or Laser, etc. He said, he would do anything necessary to get me fixed as fast as possible and he would and could use any tool available.  I felt I had found a good doctor. I met this new Urologist on Thursday January 8th with a Foley catheter in me that had been there since December 9th (a month) that my original Urologist had put it in me in the ER about 2:00 a.m. that night, when my bladder locked up, and I could not pee and the hospital ER staff could not get a catheter in me. My new Urologist took that catheter out and by the next morning Friday January 9th, I had locked up again and could not pee. I went back to the new Urologist office and within an hour we (my new Urologist and I) were at the hospital.  I was in so my pain he could not get another catheter in me or his cystoscope to see what was going on in his office. So we went to the hospital ER surgery area where they put me to sleep, so he could get the scope in me to see what was going on and to drain out my bladder. I woke up with a new Foley catheter in me. I saw him in his office a week later, they took that catheter out, and within 2 hours my bladder/urethra/prostate was locked up again he had to put another catheter back in me.  He and I talked about all that was going on with my prostate and my bladder and all of the different procedures, all of which are called the “TURP”.  We went over the Button Plasma Vaporization, the different laser procedures, and everything else that was out there that he could use.  He said, he would use the Button Plasma Vaporization or Laser on me, but he would re-evaluate me when he got back inside my prostate and bladder neck area.  Then on January 27th, back at the hospital, they put me back to sleep, and he did the Button Plasma Vaporization TURP.  Again, I woke up with a new Foley catheter in me. Then a week later back in his office they took that catheter out, then, you guessed it, within about 2 hours later I could not pee and they had to put a catheter back in and drained off about 2 liter of urine.  The next day they did a Uro - dynamics test and he put the scope back in me (with me awake this time). We saw on the scope monitor the flap of tissue he had missed in my bladder neck.  He said, he screwed up by being too conservative and trying to preserve my sexual functions and not leave me where I would leak a lot. So, on March 2nd, we went back to the hospital, they put me back to sleep for another day surgery, and to go home with another big catheter in me.  This time he used the Holmium laser to clean up what he missed the first time.  I had to give him a hard time about having to go back and do warranty work for his screw up the first time.  He was good about that and we had a good laugh. A week later that catheter came out and within 10 minutes I was peeing in the bucket in the office. It was great!!!  I am now back to better than normal, peeing when I need to, beginning to get an erection back, and even had 1 small ejaculation. I am 59 years old, however I feel more like I did when I was about 30. I am going to take it slow until everything gets completely healed before I go back to ejaculating for fun, for now I am just peeing for fun.  I cannot speak for everyone, but the TURP procedures I had were not that bad at all compared to all the bladder lock-ups, needing to pee at any given moment, and needing to wear the depends to keep from peeing in my paints when I knew there would not be a place or restroom when I needed it.   I do not know if the administrator of this forum will take this out or not. But, if anyone wants to talk to me further about what I went through, then please feel free to e-mail me.  Jon
