Final follow up of Greenlight lazer
Posted , 8 users are following.
I had my 16 week post Greenlight surgery
Checkup today. Dr could not believe my progress. No problems and I am sleeping thru the night without having to go to bathroom. The urgency is totally gone.
I now have full control better than I have had in years. Going back in Sept for another checkup.
Post surgery I only had burning slightly the second week and no blood. I had no pain right after I woke up from surgery and after he removed the catheter a few days later I was peeing like a horse. The only thing was tender uretha when sitting especially while driving for about 5 weeks. I used a pillow.
All is good now. I hope everyone else out there can have my luck. Plus no retro.
Good luck to everyone.

My results were similar to Vaughn's except that I am a really lousy sleeper, so I pee before bedtime and usually make it through the night without waking up to go to the bathroom ... but I do wake up, through habit, pretty early in the morning.
My urgency is not totally gone because of overactive bladder (I often have it when I am washing dishes), but that is not the fault of Greenlight.
I had mine done at NYU here in Manhattan by Dr. Benj Brucker, a great guy.

I am 63 and I had urine retention which put me in the hospital with a UTI with severe sepsis. I self cathed for awhile and when I wasn't going enough they did a cystoscopy and found my prostate had all but closed off the uretha. That is when they decided on the Greenlight. I was nervous of the usual side effects but I was lucky and had none. I could not live the way it was. I am now glad I had it done.

I took flomax and tamilosin and did not help due to the prostate restriction. He did not suggest turp. He has done around 1000 greenlight's. He did not check the PSA. I have no idea what it would be.
