Urolift Guys, Keep in mind.
Posted , 6 users are following.
This is not so much of a "discussion" as it is a gentle reminder.
When they do the Urolift they are clamping some devices 4 or more times, which can dig into your prostate (a good thing, that way they are tight). So realize that your prostate is traumatized, and your body is trying to rid of it instead of acccepting it. So there is going to be some stuff to deal with, initially. Give it a little time and your prostate will comply with the foreign objects. Hey, we are probly all in our 50s or better and our bodies are pretty stubborn when it comes to healing up. Its all worth it!

Are you a doctor?

All of that coupled with some common sense, like simply knowing that if your prostate gets a bunch of prostetics installed on it, i would think it is safe to say that it is going to be an un-happy organ, at least for a little while. Dont you?

If you are consideering having it done then at least you will have some things to consider when talking to your Dr.

This is one from 2005.
I'm 65 and have had BPH for 10 years. For most of that time I've taken Saw Palmetto, and for the last couple of years I added Beta Sitosterol (Natrol Cholesterol Balance). They both seemed to help, and I honestly believe my symptoms may have subsided a bit since I started the Beta Sitosterol, but it's pretty subjective. Even so, going without peeing through a two hour movie was pretty tough, and I was up 2 - 5 times a night. Then, about three months back I was being bothered, mainly at night, by arthritis -- so I took a couple of Ibuprofen, and it helped the arthritis, but it also seemed to have an effect on the nightly trips to the john. I decided to experiment, so I talked to a pharmacist and in my case it seemed ok to take 800mg before going to bed. The effect was immediate and dramatic. In the last month I haven't had my sleep interrupted so much as once, and not more than a couple of times in the last three months. As long as I pop some ibuprofen first, movies are no longer a problem, either. (-8 The dose I'm taking exceeds manufacturer's recommendations, and for those taking an aspirin for their heart, Ibuprofen can interfere with the blood thinning effect, so it's probably not for everyone. A doctor is the best one to decide. Anyhow, for whatever it's worth, I just wanted to pass along my experience.

My flow is variable but no reason was found for it when I had a cystoscopy earlier this year. I hardly go during the day but have always gone two or three times during the night.

It's difficult going thru this first week but hopefully things get better bit by bit. I did ask her about taking Advil to reduce inflammation and she said go for it so I have started that as well as a new medication to help with the burning, pain, and bladder spasms. It's called Uribel and I have used it before after cystoscopies, etc, and it works well.
Hang in there everybody

Staying that your "prostate is traumatized." And your body is trying rid of it..."
Those seem to be rather bold statements. Is there some empirical evidence to support those assertions!?
That's all I was wondering.
I've been to seven urologists. And everyone of them has had a different opinion. And I live in Los Angeles. So one would think all these hot shot doctors would have some type of uniformity in their advice.
No hard feelings. Just seems to be discouraging statements for the "faint of heart" urolift prospects.
