Urolift procedure
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi, I have been reading all your discussions for a while and decided to write to you once I have done my Urolift procedure. I am 59 and have suffered from BPH since last December. I was given Flomax but did not like it because of the side effects. Four weeks ago, I finally went through the Urolift procedure and I can assure you that I feel like normal again. The first week obviously, it did burn a bit and I had to get up 6 times at night, during the day always the feeling of peeing, but normal after the first few days. Second week it became bettter, less frequent. At the end of the third week, I felt great, cured. I had my life back again as I am a very active person. I am now in my forth week, feel very good. I am only getting up once at night, sometimes even none. Sleep very well. I am happy to provide more information to anyone of you reading this, but my expericne with Urolift is very good. It has cured my problem.

thank you for replying to my comment. Yes, you are right, I am really enjoying life again now, appreciate it more, start my training again.The last six months with Flomax, I felt miserable, weak, de-motivated, caused mainly because of a lack of sleep (I always woke up too early and then could not sleep any more), also experienced lack of libido, and constantly had coughing problems. I even gave up my training (I am a runner). And yes, it did mentally affect me a lot, my friends told me to shrug it off. It is easy to say if one is not concerned. Also, I wanted to have my life back. Friends told me that this is normal, everyone gets older, I should better get used to it, blablabla. I did not believe them, this was my life and I wanted to have it back. So I did a lot of research about Urolift and knew that this was my back-up plan. I did not like the idea taking Flomax indefintely...I mean it also helped, to be fair, but ...it is a curse and a blessing. I am glad my Urologist suggested the Urolift as an alternative around 4 months ago. As I mentioned, after 4 weeks now today, I feel normal again, happy I did it. Thanks, Ken, again for sharing your thoughts with me. Take care, too. Roland PS My Urologist is very famous, Assist. Prof., since I was his patient No. 300 to perform the Urolift procedure, apparantly the only Uroligst worldwide who has done that so far, I was being told. Not that it matters, but it gives you a good feeling that you are in good hands. I had no complications, no cathether, none. Bleeding only once then no more. Also, I am concentrating my food intake in such a way that it keeps my prostate healthy. That means a lot of soy products, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, pomegranades, to name a few.

Thanks for writing to me. No, I am not on any prescriptions any more, thanks God. That was one of the reasons I did Urolift to get rid of Flomax. About you gettingup 3x nightly: I think it is normal at that stage. After my first week of Urolift, I had to get up 6x, second week 3x, and only in the third week at the end it went back to 'normal', once only. It usually takes around between 2 and 4 weeks to feel really very good again. You will feel it yourself, I guess it also depends from person to person, everyone different. Please stay in touch. Kind regards, Roland
PS Get the right food for prostate health.

Thanks for taking the time to do this...now you are ok.
I am having this Urolift on the 24th Aug 2015
I'm 78 so I may not fair as well as you but it does sound promising.
Can you feel this implant inside at times? What about when you sit down?
I do like the simplicity of it and being a minimally invasive treatment.
No hospital stay, no catheter, (that in itself is a relief) and no medication.
I would really appreciate a reply as soon as possible as I will be going in pretty soon.
Regards Brian Johnson

don't worry, you will be fine. I am now 2mths after Urolift and feel fine, can sleep again,no med, great. You don't feel the implants at all. After the procedure, you will be a bit unconfortable (1 week), you will feel like peeing every 1h or so, but slowly it will go away. Good luck!
