I am getting to the point where I want to consider surgery. BPH is getting worse and Tamsulosin has so many side effects, particularly on libido.I am considering HOLEP, Urolift or FLA but I know more about these procedures and the pros and cons than my Doctor, mainly due to this brilliant forum.

Considering HOLEP at Addenbrookes but is FLA or Urolift available in the UK and is there an unbiased Consultant ( some will say they don't exist ) in the UK to give advice on options or an independent report or paper that has reviewed all of the current surgical options in the UK. Look forward to your replies.

    Thanks All for your excellent advice. I am leaning towards HOLEP at Addenbrookes as a private patient under Tev Aho.
