Need for Turp or additional Urolift bands

I had a Urolift at the end of 2017 and had a minimal response and am worse now in regards to urgency and frequency then I had been prior to the surgery.  After an exam it appears that the 4 bands are not sufficient and I need to have more bands implanted or Turp.

Is this Dr. error or has anyone else seen this?

    Maybe try some cialis with dutasteride brand name avodart. I took them before my recent PAE and my peeing was much improved.

    Have you looked at having a PAE?

    How big is your prostate? Have you had an MRI to find out? Check the other forums about TURP. It is sort of an outdated and last resort kind of a procedure. There are a bunch of procedures that are less invasive.
