Good luck with the Uroflit and keep in mind the failure rate, its a relatively new procedure and its difficult to get data on it because it hasn't been studied as long as other procedures. So let's hope you decision is the corrrct one for you, I had a Turp and am very glad I did. I was on Tamsulion and Finasteride for years but it was time to have it dealt with.
The prostate is a 'wild weed' that continues to grow in men. Remember your dealing with an Industry for men, and all men will develop prostate problems, its only a matter of time. How you deal with it, is up to you. I have read where a urolift is buying time until a TURP has to be done. There are lots of men out there who have had all kinds of differnet procedures, its a money maker for those doing the surgery. The main reason I have heard from men on this site against a TURP, is because you cannot ejaculate. Its an "internal" orgasm. Same feeling, just not external.
I wish you well.

I will keep in mind your comment to take the last decision. My Urologist told me about the sexual lost after TURP (retrograde eyaculatio)...for sure. He was clear on that point and don't give me any chance to keep the "humide eyaculation". Even worst, he prevent me there are a possibility to lost the erection. Otrherwise its a long term surgery and as it is the "gold Standard" is completly proved and ....is sure.

Im agree with you. i start to loos my humide eyaculation last month ...It is not then same thing at all. Then I stoped tamsulosine and the humid eyaculatio get back slowly. My Urologist told me about the sexual lost after TURP (retrograde eyaculation)...for sure. He was clear on that point and don't give me any chance to keep the "humide eyaculation". Even worst, he prevent me there are a possibility to lost the erection. Otrherwise its a long term surgery and as it is the "gold Standard" is completly proved and ....is "completly" sure.

The reverse ejaculation from TURP is all I've seen discussed here, like Mike says in his reply. However, the side-effects that really decided it for me, was the possiblity of incontinence or inability to have an erection. Um, NO THANKS!!! Even at 66, that matters to me.
There is a female doctor in Texassomewhere who has a lot of experience; I recall finding her just before I located Dr. Ganges in Salt Lake. The docs I called in NJ, NYC and Long Island, as well as Baltimore, were very new to the procedure. I wanted someone with a LOT of experience. If the Urolift is "buying time," as Mike suggests, I would follow it with anything but a TURP. From my reading, and talking with doctors and guys who've had other procedures, the green-light laser surgery or (more likely) the PAE procedure would be my choice.
I had my Urolift 4 months ago; back doing manual work three days later, and systems evened out to a post-op normalcy within a couple of weeks.
