BPH several procedures NONE worked
Posted , 13 users are following.
May 2018 had a Urolilft in Toronto at a cost of $17,000 That worked for about a year.
More and more Acute Urinary Retention (visits to emerg screaming in pain, hours waiting for a catheter) from December 2019 on, then finally a Turp February 2020. 6 weeks later, and several
attempts of trying to pee without a catheter all end with failure and more screaming pain.
Starting to feel suicidal and just wanting to give up.
Modern urology seems less of an exact science and more of 'lets try this or let's try that'.
I'm 64, in great shape and just retired.

Just an update today,
Had my cystoscopy. The conclusion was 'Your prostate is large'.I kid you not.
And I will have to have another turp. But with Covid 19, this is elective and who knows
when that will happen. (It was originally 75 cc large)
Projections are well you've seen them. I will be enduring a foley catheter and countless infections for a very long time it seems.

By the way, Urologist told me Anything Laser was not possible for me because of the size of my prostate.
Oh and when I had my turp 6 weeks ago, they did remove all the screws etc.. from the Urolift.
