The Urolift procedure; patient views and questions

Hi Ron, just wanted to follow-up and see how you are doing after a year. I did the Urolift procedure a year and a half ago. The Dr said it was temporary at best maybe a few years. I had BPH and unfortunately it kept growing so I did my due diligence and decided on the Holep procedure here in Phoenix at Mayo with Dr Humphreys and Dr Martin. Just had it done this week. Have to do a catheter for a few days, after 3 days the urine is getting cleaner. The Urolift caused a couple of issues with the procedure, but everything seems to have worked our.  Just wondering if your are still doing ok.

Thanks

Curious about the problems caused by the urolift and holep. I have eight clips in and holep is a possibility. I've always wondered if there's some conflict.

Hi Michael,

I had 2 bands. The bands ate up the enucleater (spelling) this is the device used to remove the prostrate. Doc said he had to change the device 4 times to get it all cut up and out. My prostrate had grown around the bands. He Holep was successful, but he said the area where the bands were thinner and would take a little longer to heal. I just had the Helop on Tuesday and have a catheter in. After 3 days the fluid is getting clearer, just a light pink now. I get the catheter out on Monday. Not sure where you live, but Mayo folks were very attentive. Everything was explained. The surgery is about an hour (to cut up the prostrate) and then about 20 minutes to remove it. I feel good. My sleep (even with the catheter) has been great. Hope this is helpful. Just let me know if you would like any other info. Gene

Thanks for the details Gene. I didn't realize the Urolift would cause those problems.I'm not sure what you mean when you say grea around the "bands". Do you mean the prostate grew around the metal clips in the ureathra. I assume you mean the tether cords that go through the prostate. Or do you mean the metal clips on the outside of the prostate?

Hi Ron,  My prostate is too large for the Urolift.  I am considering the Holep procedure.  How has this surgery worked out for you since it's been about a year I think since you had it done?  Have you had any sexual or other side effects?  How long did it take after the procedure for you to get some decent results?

Thanks,  Terry

HI Michael,

I go in this afternoon  to have the catheter removed. I will ask the dr again about the Urolift and what problems it may have caused.

Thanks Gene. Very thoughful to remeber. I look forward to the answer.

Hi Michael, Had the catheter removed (what a relief ) checked with the Dr on the Eurolift. I had 2 bands/staples in from my Urolift, I guess the bands caused some issues with the morcelator which is the devise which cuts everything up so they can pull the material back out. He said he had to replace the blades several times but all is well.   I can say the procedure went well and my x-rays were clean. First day off the catheter and I have had no issues. If I can provide any other info for you, please let me know. I am happy I did it. Good luck. Gene

I am awaiting the TURP op and just found out about the Euro lift proceedure . With regards to tissue growth .I have been told by my specialist that the turps op will normally have to be repeated every 10 years. How long term is the Eurolift ? After reading the Nice report on the Eurocel proceedure I cannot understand why the N H S is not providing this treatment .I f anyone does know differently please let us all know..On what I have seen so far it would be a no brainier not to have the Eurolift when you consider the after effects of the TURPS op.

One of the other men on this site had to have 2 Geen Lights and a turp in 4 years he still has a problem.  Why put yourself through that. No doctor will ever do that barbaric procedure to me.  That is why I had a Uro-lift over a year ago still going great. Some doctors will push it because they sell the equipment so they make money both way.  Repeat and Repeat  Have a good day  Ken

Ken;    We got you message that surgery is bad and Uro-lift is good. You've done over 900 posts on the same subject. It doesnt need to be repeated all day, every day.   Post some new thoughts.

I have to repeat it because I am trying to stop some men form making a bad decision.  Here are some other facts I just read which may help.  When having a turp.  40% of men will not be able to get a erection sufficient for intercourse.  20% to 25% have relief from BPH symtoms and 15% to 20%  have to have another treatment in under 10 years or sooner I read that one man had to have 2 GL and 1 turp in 4 years . There is also a 5% to 10% of being incontinence and 10% to 20% become impotent.  It sometime take up to a month for you  go back to driving.  To me way would you put yourself through all of this. You may solve one problem but you end up with many.  Most urologist will never give you all the information.  They just tell you  all will be the same.  All I am saying before you pick a procedure get all the information you can.  Because you have to deal with the out come. JJ this is just by opinion   Have a great day..Ken  

Hey Ron how bad was the holep I'm terrified should I try urolift first?

Ray  Done have the holep its just as bad has a turp.  Have the urolift firt lest side effect and you will be much better off.  I have mine a year in a half ago all is great  and no retro or incotinence....Ken

Ray, Hi. I had the urolift in Feb. 2016, so 7 months. I will be 59 years old this year. As you will read, all men have differing experiences with urolift. So, I can only give you mine. My enlarged prostate symptoms were severe urgency and increased frequency. I took tamsulosin for many years and did get relief until about a year ago. I decided on urolift after much research and discussions with urologist. I was told I was a good candidate and it was recommended that I not wait. As mentioned, I had it in February. The procedure was very uncomfortable, almost painful, to me but recovery very fast. Saw improvements after a couple weeks. As of now I can sleep through the night easily and both urgency and frequency are much improved. I am glad I had the urolift. I do have concerns, because the prostate continues to grow, just how long the improvement will be felt. If I could get 7 to 10 years, I would be thankful. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Hi Ken, I/m almost 87 years old with urine retention. Do you know of anyone at this age that had a Uro Lift ? I want to relate this info.Today i talked with Dr Sterling nurse  about "THE FOCUSED LASER ABLATION" for BPH. It turns out the they will not accept insurance,medicare does not pay for this .This is done in Florida,and New York. It"s around $22,0000.

I can send a e-mail  to my urologist and see.  I know he has done over 200.He did mine in 2015  I will let you know.   Ken

Hi Ken, Getting an answer from your urologist about having urine rentention and age almost 87,would be greatly appreciated.Where is your doctor located?

Hey Frank.  I live in Orlando Fl...I have not heard from him yet but it's early  I will let you know  Ken

Good evening Frank  Sorry I'm so late getting you a reply but was out with some friends.  Here is the reply I got from my Urologist.  It would depend on your median lobe.  But you did not say anything about that. This is what he said.  Honestly I've had very good success in men that have had a mild median lobe in the past. And would pursue it at your age..Have a good day hope this helps.  Ken 

HI KEN, Thank you so much for this information. I have an appoint on Oct 4 with a urologist that does uro- lift. He's 39 years old ,been inpractice 7 years,i hope he has enough experience to do this.Do you know what kind of test they do,  to know  about the median lobe?

Thank you so much.

That's great.  My urologist is about 45 if that had him for 2 years I think the younger guys treat the older guys better.  Your prostate cums in lobes.  Sometime the median lobe get to big and gets stuck in the bladder.  You did not mantion that I just think your whole prostate is a little big.  My doctor said your a good candiate for a uro-lift  He may just do another scope so he can see it himself.  You just need it pulled apart.  Good luck and let me know what happen..Ken

Hi Ken,Thanks for the info.I will let you know what happens!!

I whole heartedly agree and hope that this advise is seriously taken. Had my procedure done on June 29 and the outcome is all I expected and then some.

I had it, in for one night, got some sleep with the stupid catheter in and the machine massaging my legs against DVT (half way thro' they switched it off at my request), next day removal of catheter was a painful part (few seconds), some pee pain (but no bleeding) for 2 weeks but nothing too awful, no incontinence, third week =  pee pain all gone but 1 week with blood in pee (you get this with urolift too I believe for a day or two only), within that 3 week was one day of clot-passing (right at end of week 3 then stopped abruptly), then improved flow rate, frequency issue depleting day by day, no ED, first ejaculation at 7 weeks was insensate (no feeling) but by week 14 all sensations back to normal or suitably close (improvement was progressive), PSA measured 0.7, repeat test 0.66 at week 20 (not by uro, just a freebie with my bi-annual company medical as I am now 50), and I didn’t get the 2% stricture risk (that also exists with all other procedures, including REZUM and, to a smaller degree, Urolift).  Well, textbook says stricture risk lasts a year,  uro said after HOLEP it will generally manifest in first 2 months, if not got it then (my flow rate week 9 or so was 36 ml/second), then you’re safe.  I chose holep to avoid meds (never took any) and because I felt urolift was just a stop-gap with drawbacks as per post higher up in this thread.  I am someone who likes long-term fixes !

hi Ron--Do you think at 87 years old this Holep procedure would be the a good alternative to uro lift? Just thought id ask for an opinion?

thanks

HI KEN, Do you know if the uro lift will work if you have urine retention?

Thats what i have, almost 6 months . I'm still taking Avodart and flomax?

thanks

Hi Gene,Did you mean then removed your prostate with the Helop surgery?

Hope yor doing well. Thanks for this info 

hi Ron, Where did you have the holep done? I lve in Chicago.How many days did you stay their?

thanks for all this info, also what was the name of the doctor?

I told you before my doctor say it should work for you  Ken

Hi Ken, You did say uro lift would work for me.,however my Uro said it would not work with urine retention?I wish i knew who to beleive?

thanks 

frank,

Frank my urologist said that he has had good result with me with retention.  And he also said that if it does not work  It will make CIC easier for you.  The catheter would go through the prostate better.  Your doctor is trying to have you do surgery Like a turp  Tell him no.  You what a Urolift if anything.  And get it in writing.and have him sign it no turp only urolift  Ken

Better clarify as enucleation does not remove the prostate. It is the process of removing tissue that has been destroyed by the laser. The "shell" of the prostate remains.

I had the uro lift six weeks ago. Had a terrible five days after procedure. A lot of clotting - four visits to the emergency room. Now I am maybe a little better than before the procedure. Still get up four or five times a night to urinate but I no longer take max flow. But maybe I should be.

Tony (Evdilos) 

Hi,Evdilos, Did you have complete urine retention?Cannot pee at all?

I have this and my uroologist says Uro Lift

frank,won't work for me? It would help me to know if you had my problem before you had uro lift?

Thanks very much my friend!!

frank,

Hi Frank,

​    Before the Uro-lift I had frequent urination problems and poor evacuation. Got up  4 or 5 tims despite taking Tamsulosin. I did not have total urintde retention except for a few days after the procedure as a result of blood clottkng. I had to rush to emergency 4 times

   At this point I urinate about every hour and a half and even more if I have had a couple of beverages.

​   I am flying to Florida next week. I will be wearing special underwear just in case the toilet on the plane is not available when I need it.

Tony

Can anyone tell me once the discomfort goes and your back to normal are you  aware or feel you've got staples down below

Good morning Eric.  I had the urolift done Aoril of 2015.  I have never felt the imolants.  My doctor put in 4  Been doing great  Have a good day  Ken

Eric.  Hi.  I had 5 "staples" put in Feb. 2016.  I have never felt anything that indicated there were fasteners installed.  Bob

Thanks bob/ken, one final question, after the op and your back to normal how is your urine flow to pre op levels

I was back to normal withing a week.  It take about a month for most.  I had a little burning for the catheter the first day it came out but all went well  Take it easy  when are you going for iy.  Ken

I've noticed a sensation of increased pressure before defecating, and I interpret that as possible pressure from the rectum on the prostate and staples.  I wouldn't call it pain, and I've only noticed it a couple of times.  Urine flow showed immediate improvement after the procedure, far better.  It's apparently slowing now, but still better than it was, and not interfering with normal life.  Best wishes.

Eric,  I did not have any catheter after procedure but had extreme burning and pain with urination, for about 3 or 4 days, after the urolift.  My flow was never much of a problem with BPH.  I did have severe problems with urgency and frequency.  These symptoms improved greatly after the procedure and continue to be improved a year later.

Eric.  I had a catheter for 3 days.  It is up to you and the doctor if one is used.  I have a problem peeing on demand so he felt it was right for me.  Also I would reather have one put in while am out they one put in when i'm awake.  The prostate get swollen so it gives the urethra time to heal.  Take care  Ken

Eric,

?    I can't feel any staples but I do wonder if the staples were properly inserted. Is it possible that the prostate has slipped away from the staples and is again blocking off much of the passage through which the urine flows. I do not have total retention by any means but very frequent  urination.

?   The uro-lift was not a success. I am about where I was before the procedure. 

They may have to go in and put more in.  I had 4 implants and they worked for me.  Chuck P had it done and  the 4 were not enough.  He went in and had another 4  he pees like he was in his teens.  The urologist jsut does not know how many to put in they start with 4.  Take care  Ken

Hi Kenneth... not everyone has read your every post in all forums related to Urolift or whatever... please keep expressing yourself freely as I have learned much from you... Cheers

Thank you  for the kind words  If I can help in any way please contact me.  If I don't know the answer I will look it up for you or someone else doe's Take care  Ken 

No disrespect, jjjj57989, but you need to lighten up.  If kenneth1955 is repeating himself, that's actually a GOOD thing.  His posts have the potential to save a lot of guys from making bad decisions.  Just sayin'

Has anyone who was on tamsulosin (Flomax) prior to having the UroLift procedure have problems going off on tamsulosin after having the UroLift procedure performed? I had UroLift procedure done on July 11. It took roughly nine days to have total bladder control. Life was good, waking up at most two times a night to urinate. Saw the urologist on August 15 and he told me to stop taking tamsulosin, then in two weeks stop taking Myrbetriq. Since then I'm getting up four to five times a night. The urologist said I may have to go back on tamsulosin. I have no problem  maintaining a steady stream when urinating, but I'm going too frequent and I'm wondering if the problem could be an overactive bladder. Should I stay the course for a couple weeks and stay off on tamsulosin for a couple more weeks in hopes the bladder calms down.

Hello Brian.  Sorry your still having a problem.  after I had mine done I was off all meds.  I would not take Tamsulosin because of the side effect.  Try taking Myrbetriq every other day.  Maybe your bladder is to relax.  Stay away from coffee and tea.  KEN

I had my urolift about six months ago. The benefits are marginal. I still take Tamsulosin. What are the side effects.

Tony 

My Urolift was the second procedure I had done on my prostate (TUNA first 10 years ago).  Since the TUNA, my nocturia increased back to a 2-5 times a night.  First my urologist tried tamsulosin.  I reacted badly to it.  It zapped my energy. I couldn't do recreational running or light weights.  Perhaps its the combination with blood pressure medicine (which I reduced the dosage).  Finally, the doc and I agreed to the Urolift (Feb 2017) and stop the tamsulosin.  I am averaging 0-1 time a night.  My energy level is better and I am slowly getting my conditioning back.  I have some minor bladder control issues, but they seem to be getting a little better.  Tamsulosin works for some people.  I was not one.

I'm still on the Myrbetriq, not suppose to go off on that for another two weeks. Hard to tell if there is starting to be some improvement being off of Tamsulosin, as it is only been six days since going off on it. I'll give it another eight days to see if my frequent urine problems improve before deciding to go back on Tamsuloin. As soon as my frequency to urinate decreases I will then try and go off on Mybetriq. To be thruthful, it is no big deal deal to me if I have to stay on either one of the meds or both. I have no regrets getting UroLift done. Nine days after getting UroLift done but before going off on Tamsuloin I went from getting up six to eight or more times a night to urinate to one to two times at most. Count me in as being very pleased at having UroLift done. Now that I'm off of Finasteride I'll be able to go back donating blood and platelets in another 22 days. I've donated 167 pints in my lifetime and I really want to go back being a platelet donor.

Sorry that your still having a problem.  Some of the side effects are Chest pain, you feel like you want to pass out, dizzy and also dry ejaculation and a few others. I was good in a  week.  Remember we all heal at different rates.  Try to relax if you can  Ken

Brian  you have to watch the Myrbetriq.  I through that I was going to much so my urologist told me to try it.   I was only going once a day and had no feel to go the rest of the day.  I'm doing great now It was just some form of prostatitis.  I will deal with it.  Other then that it's 2 1/2 years for me.  I would not have any other procedure.  Glad your off the finasteride.  I use to give plasma years ago when my kids were little.  Take care  Ken 

One thing that's compounding my problem with frequent urinating is that I have Parkinson's. I'm still in the early stages of Parkinson's and it hasn't affected my photography hobby.

Brian have they giving you something to slow down the Parkinson's.  If they have check the side effect for that pill.  I wish you will and enjoy all you can Ken

I'm on the generic version of Sinemet. There are a lot of side effects, but without taking Sinemet I wouldn't be able to walk or stand because I'd lose my sense of balance. My neurologist figures it will be 10 to 15 years before I will need more dramatic steps. I'm 67. I did tell my primary care back in December that one of the side effects of Sinemet was hallucinations, then I said that I'm suffering hallucinations, someone told me Trump was President. Primary care noted "patient has not lost his sense of humor". :-)

Went back on Tamsulosin this morning. I'm just starting off at one pill a day, 0.4 mg, and see if I can get by with that dose. If necessary I'll go to two pills a day, 0.8 mg, my old dose. Hard to explain, but I felt like my urethra was irritated. The frequent urinating at night time was driving me up a wall, especially when I wasn't urinating that much volume wise. I'll wait until my bladder calms down and see if I can wean myself off of Myrbetriq. I'll give a call to talk to my urologist nurse to schedule a follow up appointment in six months per my urologist instructions.

You have to do what you have to do.  Good luck  Ken

Hi All, I had 4 bands put in 6 weeks ago...After a few weeks of pain and worry..All is working well , better flow, less urgency...2-3 times/night. I am very happy with the Urolift...so far.  I hope it is not a temporary fix! Best of luck.  Steve 

Hey Steve  Going on 3 years for me..  All is well.  There are men that had it done in the trail 7 years ago and they are still good to go..  I am good with it If I have to have a couple more clips put in every 5 years.  That would work for me  Ken

Steve, that's good news. I'm at two years with no diminishing of benefits and I know Ken, on the forum, is at three years. I asked my urologist, this past Monday, about long-term success with urolift and he said the initial study showed 85% success rate to five years. Good luck. Bob

Thanks Bob and Ken. That is what I have read as well.Good results to 5 years. I would not be in favor of repeating the procedure..Once is enough. 

This forum has been great to read and share about others experience with

Urolift. Steve.

Not sure how to get a post into this forum, but I'll see if this works.

Hi,

I had Uro-Lift surgery just over a year ago (12-2217) & man do I regret that decision. It has completely ruined my sex life and rendered erections impossible.

Sure, I can p**s now, though not as well as expected, but before surgery I had to self-cath just to have relief.

I was told & assured that the Uro-Lift procedure would not affect sexual function. BULLS**T! 

In addition, after doing a lot of self research prior to surgery, I was told that I would be able to come off the meds (Rapaflo & Jalyn) post surgery. My urologist  took me off the Rapaflo 2 months post surgery at my insistence, but still has me on Jalyn. I'm deflated & feel useless. 

I go in to see my Urologist tomorrow morning (1-8-18) for my one year post surgery check-up. It will be the first time I've seen the Urologist since March 2017.

Needless to say, I have a lot to get off my chest when I see him tomorrow, and though it won't change anything, hopefully I'll feel better.

Moral here, truly think long & hard before believing the hype about Uro-Lift!  I'm 53 and unable to perform sexually.  The toll it has taken on my marriage is significant. Sorry to vent so much, but I'm so regretful of my decision.  Anyone else having this issue after Uro-Lift surgery? 

Thanks,

Den

 

Den, I was on Jayln for a few years, and it rendered me impotent.  I had the Urolift in May '17 and got off the Jayln.  I can donate blood again, I don't have the urgency to pee anymore, but I still only get half an erection; nothing like before.  I can masturbate and ejaculate, but sex hasn't been an option.  If you find a solution, please let me know!

Thanks for responding. If I find a solution, I’ll be sure to share the information.

Like I told you before get off that pill......Ken

Hello Den:

Jalyn side effects according to Drugs.com and most other drug reference websites:

More common

-Change or problem with discharge of semen

-decreased interest in sexual intercourse

-dizziness

-enlarged and painful breasts

-inability to have or keep an erection

-loss in sexual ability, desire, drive, or performance

Unless your Urologist is keeping you on Jayln for some other reason, I would get off of it before I blamed the Urolift for my sexual issues.  If your sexual problems improve (or not) after stopping Jayln, report back and let everyone know.

George

Thanks George,

I guess it is somewhat unfair to blame Uro-Lift, so I apologize for that.  All I can say is that before the surgery, all sexual function was fine.  I've been on Jalyn since 2010, as well as Rapaflo.  Sexual function wasn't an issue.  I've been off Rapaflo for 10 months now & today my doctor said i can discontinue the Jalyn.  He kept me on it to keep my prostrate from continuing to enlarge.

Thanks agin for the advice, it is appreciated.

Den

I will keep the forum updated as to any changes now that I am off all the meds.  Things hopefully will improve over the course of the next few weeks.  I am hopeful that the meds were the culprit, but we are all different.

As I've been reading through this forum, I realize that I am not the only one who has concerns as to the long term post surgery.

I appreciatye all the encouragement and advice.

I agree with Ken. Get off the meds. Also, get a new urologist. If all else fails, get a 3 part penile implant. They work great. NO more impotence.

Neal

Hi Neal.....I'm seeing another urologist at the end of February as I'm far from happy with the Urolift done locally a few months ago......I'm still waiting for him to give me info on how many clips he used and should I still be on Tamsulosin.....He wanted to do a bladder neck incision which I refused as I could kiss any kind of a sex life goodbye I'm informed. So now I have to self catheterise in order to get a few hours sleep!....I can get some sort of erection but it fades away quite quickly with limited penetration, so I was interested in what are these 3 part penile implants you mention?.....Any info gratefully received.

Regards,   Chris.

First of all you need to get off the Tamsulosin that is the sexual problem.  Doctors do not care about that.  I hope he only did the regular Urolift The Urolift should have open you up.  He should have giving you a card with the date and how many clips were put in. I got mine done 3 years ago.  I got the card when I left the hospital.  I hope he did not put any clips on your bladder neck.  I had a long talk the other day.  A 3 way call with the inventor of the Urolift.  They will not stand by the Urolift if the doctor add to the procedure.  The Urolift stand alone.  He will be talking with the doctors in the UK and a Dr. Peter Chin in Australia.  They will be telling them they will not be able to use the Urolift name if they add anything.  These doctor to not have the permission from the Urolift company.    Ken

Hi Chris,

I know this sounds crazy, but remember that this really works. In your penis are two long "balloons", one on each side. When you have a normal erection, they actually fill up with blood, then a valve closes and keeps the blood in there, and keeps your penis erect. As you might expect, this is a complex process, and a lot can go wrong. Your nerves might not be sending the right messages, for example, if you have diabetes. Your valves may leak, etc. The cause, it turns out, is not important, because the implant works anyway.

When you get an implant, they place specialized plastic balloons inside the balloons already in your penis. They also place a pump, about the size of a testicle inside your scrotum, and place a reservoir inside your abdomen. All of those things are connected by tiny hoses, and the reservoir is filled with sterile saline solution.

When you want to have an erection, you pump the pump which pumps saline from the reservoir into the balloons, and blows them up, giving you a strong erection. When you want the erection to go away, you press a button on the pump, which opens a valve, and squeeze your penis with your other hand to squeeze the saline from your penis back to the reservoir.

Dr. Eid in New York City did my implant. Look him up on the web.

There are also videos of the actual surgery there. Don't let it scare you. You sleep through the surgery. Dr Eid, who did my surgery is in a couple of them. He is absolutely great.

It is best viewed on a computer, not a phone.

And yes, with one of these implants, you have normal orgasms, and the sensations are the same! Outside of marrying my wife, that surgery is the best thing I ever did for myself. It solved a problem I had for most of 50 years. If you have problems with finding him, send me a private IM. Click on the envelope near my name at the top of this message, and ask additional questions here.

Neal

Hi CHRIS,

I wrote you a long answer, but it is being moderated by people whose job it is to facilitate the discussion.

Neal

Hi Neal,

Thank you for that superb description of the erection system you describe.....I guess it was quite expensive and as I live in the UK maybe difficult to get here.Thanks again and I will now try to find Dr Eid's site.

Kind regards....Chris.

Hi Michael, l have also had 8 clips and had some greenlight laser on bladder one month now seems ok although a bit of sensivity and some slight discomfort with urgency and peeing. My prostate was 80g urologist said it was 2.5 times larger than normal. my reading suggests that should not be done over 60g. Hopping it will work out medications are so bad for your health

Hi Ken did you experience any sensitivity after urolift? At what point did you stop drinking lots of water?

Andy remember you had 2 procedure. You will not know which one is causing the sensitivity. That is the problem with another procedure being added to the Urolift. Because they can both cause that problem. You can limit your water but I drink at least 4 bottle a day and juice Ken

Ron,

How are you doing with your Holep treatment; 4 years in ? -

Would you do it again, or would you try a different procedure ? -

Respectfully,

Chuck

Hi Ron, l had the urolift 8 clips 10 months ago and although better than l was still think l will need further treatment due to frequency 3 times at night and not fully empty. Bonus no meds!
