I met with a urolologist in that is on the Rezum list. Very good credentials and reviews. He discussed rezum with me and thought i'd be a candidate based on my records. however he did want to do a cystoscope and a uridynamics.
His nurse mentioned that he has done around 100 rezums.
i asked about R/E and he told me it doesnt happen, which confused me as i know its a minor chance based on the studies. he said he has done prostate twice the size of my 80 with great success. when i asked him how many shots he thought i would have and he told me 12-14. I froze. i have never heard of anyone getting that many. Has anyone else ever received that many or knows of anyone that has had that many?
thanks in advance.

I had talked to a doctor's office who was doing Rezum early on. His office told me that they were getting 10% retro. When I called the parent company of Rezum, I got an evasive response in regards to retro.

Are you saying that 37 men in total you have tracked ? Have any had 12-14 shots ?

No that is not what I am saying. We have had men that have had 10 to 12 some worked and some didn't. Most of the men had a average of 6 and under. There were some that had median lobes. The doctor did 2 on each side and 1 in the median lobe and they were fine. I feel that 14 shot is a over kill. It will destroy to much tissue. Remember when it heals all of that is going to cause scare tissue Ken

Sorry buddy. No I did not do that one. I wish I did. I do remember that John was the first one done. That was over a year ago. There were about 18 that worked pretty good. I also know that there were a few that they did not work for them. I think Stan had it done twice.I know the first did not work and the second I don't remember. The last few that were done did work but there have not been that many lately. Not to many of us can't afford it. I do know That Dr. K was finishing his trails and he is suppose to have them out by the end of the year. I know that FLA it is approved for Cancer by the FDA. Maybe one day it will be approved for BPH. Have a good day Ken

14 shots does sound like its overkill, that why it’s important I find people that had that many. I know one of the guys here had 10 from dr mcvary and worked great. But the fact he said 0 get RE also through me. Here’s a dr that says he is one of the most experienced in rezum. Throws me for a loop. I want to email him with further questions. I am going to ask again about re and the number of shots. Does anyone have questions u think I should ask?

Yes I do think that is to many. I think 10 Is over doing it. I think The other Ken had 10 and it worked out for him But it would have to see how big the prostate it. With the Rezume procedure you are trying to make the prostate smaller but I think if you put to much steam inside your are try to kill the whole thing. There have been men that had under 6 I don't know how big there prostate was but they even had a median lobe and it works well for them. I don't think you need that many to get it to help.take the pressure of the urethra. You also have to remember this is going to cause scare tissue and to much scare tissue may cause a problem. To me it seam he does not care if they patient get retro but that it just work's for them to pee. But that was not the reason to invent this procedure to many guys still want to keep there ejaculation. I'm sorry but that type of doctor I would stay a way from Good luck Ken

No the prostate is wide open. When I was in the hospital in November they through they saw stone's but when my doctor did the scope he missed it. He said that happens sometimes with the salines going through. He also said that the stones came from the kidneys. He thinks the one that is defective is starting to fail and the stones came from there. I was told that years ago that one day it was going to happen but I have one good one that is all I need. The bad one is sitting on my bladder and is half the size of the other one. Never know I had that under I had kidney stones 15 years ago. And also it is not all ways the prostate that can cause stones. We will see Ken
