Hello men.  This is mainly something that I have been think about.  With all the procedures out there we have to pick which is the best for our problem.  Some Urologist will only offer you one procedure and it mainly turp.  That is because that is all they know.  It may fix the problem but sometime I have read on here that a few men had it 3 or more time.  If it did not work why put youself through it again.  And there are so many side effect you have do deal wiith.  The most the men are saying is retro ejaculation.  If you can deal with it fine but when they offer it to someoone in there 40's.  I don't think it's fair.   I don't know if any of you have ever had a dry orgasm but it sucks.  I was on a pill last year and was not prepared for it.  I was watching porn and just relaxing and you know.  I had the orgasm but nothing came out. They tell you it's the same but it hurt and so did my bladder.  Read up on it and that was a side effect of the pill.  Talked to my doctor and that is when we picked the uro-lift.  It worked fine for me.  On no pills and I sleep through the night.  I just would like men to make sure you are aware of any side effects with any procedure you pick.  Make sure you get all the information you can before you have anything done because there is no going back.  Also don't be bullied into any procedure.  Take care and good hearth   Ken

    Thank you Ken, Jim, Bob, Chuck, Charles and countless other brothers who have contributed immensely to this forum. Your contributions, believe it or not are a million times more informative than what I learned from over four "expert" (urologists) I've consulted over a period of more than 12 years.

    Quite honestly, I strongly believe that if these experts could humble themselves, they just might learn a thing or two by coming to this forum to gain first hand knowledge of what's going on with their guinea pigs a.k.a 'we the patients'.

    That's right, we the ones that really know how it feels to have catheter or not have one, what it feels like to shoot blank bullets, what it feels like to know that we were lied into believing that the only option available is the almighty TURP. To not be informed of UROLIFT, PAE, TUMT, HOLEP, TUVP, Vaporization of the Bladder Neck, Laser and Microwave procedures. There are lots more. At the very least, they should have had the decency to inform us of a more advanced version of their infamous TURP, i.e. the Bipolar TURP or Biploar Transurethral Vaporization.

    Anyway, pardon my rants, I'm just elated to find this site. I was just on my way to the knife for TURP until I accidentally found this site and here I am seven days after I first heard about UROLIFT and Biploar Vaporization, I had my UROLIFT procedure. 

    Anyway, I'm sleepy and would share details of my pre-op and post-op experience. 

    Just happy to announce that 10 days after undergoing UROLIFT and Bipolar Vaporization of the bladder neck, I feel like I've never felt in more than 12 years. I even slept 4 hours without interruption last nite. This is from a guy that woke up every hour pre surgery! Also consider that my bladder neck was also elongated.

    Will share details in my updates. 

    Sam

      Thank you for your update on your good result of a modern method.

      Urologists often baffle me with their attitudes and lack of concern for their patients. With TURP and Laser procedures they more or less can be certain of regrowth and many tell patients to start on Avodart to stop regrowth right after their procedure.
