Presently on meds (Silodosin 8mg/D) n Bactrim for infections w Bleeding, for BPH until next decision time;

All DREs every year - sometimes 2/year is negative for Cancer; July 2019 CT at JHopkins is negative for Cancer along w DRE; PSA June, 2019 is 6.7;

Seeking out anyone who has done ThruLEP, for a large P? I know TURP, TULSA PRO, HoLEP are good for up to 80-100g P size. I hear PAE is good for LARGE P but not good if patient suffers with infections.

I recently am reading that ThruLEP is good for large P - it is a Thulium Laser Enucleation of the P......I need to hear experiences from others.......

But have done dip stick urine test for last 3 mornings.

    Leukocytes is clear but nitrite is pink - indicative of infection.
