Rezum or HOLEP in the UK
Posted , 13 users are following.
Fed up with the side effects of Tamsulosin and waking 3 or 4 times during the night, dribbling etc, so have decided to go for either Rezum or HOLEP. Like the idea of Rezum as there is a good chance of retaining ejaculatory function, particularly if Professor Hindley was doing it. He has done well over 100 surgeries and with good results. If anybody has had either procedure done in the UK could you please let me know the outcome. Many Thanks.

Good afternoon Andy
In a way you just answered your own question
You said you like the idea of retaining your ejaculation function. Holep you have no choice. I am in the US and I had a Urolift done 4 years ago but I have heard good things about Professor Hindley.
Good luck...Ken

I'm not say that it is bad but if he has concerns about his ejaculation. Rezum is a place to start. And if it don't work he can always have something else done.
Have a good day....Ken

Remember he is in UK where to a great extent NHS patients have less choice much of the time. If he has a Rezum they will not fund a later HoLep shortly after.

I forgot that in the UK you most of the time do not see the same doctor all the time. That is a shame that they kind of tell you what you can have or can't have.
Are you only aloud to have one procedure> I know there are a lot of them offered in the UK
Have a good day......Ken

I will probably go private and self fund so I can pick and choose my surgeon.

It is a shame that is what you have to do but if you want something else that is what you have to do.
Good luck....Ken

If you are in the North East the team at the Freeman in Newcastle are very good
I had my GL there in 2004 and two recent posters had HoLep there this year.
