HoLEP treatment for BPH

Hi,

I have a BPH with ~48 gm and medium lobes extruding into the bladder. I had RESUM procedure with 7 shots 3 months ago but my symptoms did not improve at all. It got worst recently that I have LUTS symptoms and painful urination, weak stream, frequency etc. After seeing a new Dr and did the cystoscopy, the RESUM procedure did almost very little to the prostate.

My new Dr. is suggesting that I undergo HoLEP treatment. Can anyone provide inputs on the HoLEP outcomes?

Thanks,

Afu

    HOLEP is intended for very large prostates. 48 grams is much too small for HOLEP. The urologist gave you bad advice.
