I had pvp procedure 6 weeks ago. Blood and clots for 2 weeks, doctor put me on avodart. Bleeding and clots stopped in a week. Then started passing small stones the size of grains of sand. Was told I had calcium deposits in my prostate. On Memorial day, 5 weeks in, while I was passing tissue the stream stopped suddenly and for 3 hours when I tried to urinate lots of pain but no urination. After 3 hours I pushed like crazy and out popped a large piece of tissure. After that the burning has returned and the urgency to urinate comes on fast and furious. Yesterday, 6 weeks in, I passed some more tissue. Each time I pass tissue the frequency and urgency increase. I stopped calling my doctor because all he basically says is "this too shall pass." I certainly hope so.

I elected not to have surgery at age 54 and decided to use a catheter.

To make a long story short I am now 74 years old and still use intermittent catherization. I drink 10-12 8 Oz. glasses of water every 24 hours which is very important.

I sterilize the catheter in a second lowpower microwave oven used just for this purpose. I use paper towels instead of cloth towels. I have only had three infections in 20 years.

I also use a docter prescribed antibiotic as a prophylatic dose
every day.

I had pvp aser surgery about 3 months ago. My symtpoms were extremely weak stream.. Could not pee standing up it was so week even though I was on uroatral and flowmax prior. I wanted to get operatio n because of weak stream and I felt medication was causing tiredness. I was also getting up several times a night to urinate. I went in at 7:00 am in the morning andwas home by about 10:30 am. I had a catheter which I removed the next morning. There is no way I could have went back to work the next day but had operation on Thursday and wen t back to work on Monday. Had blood in urine for a couple weeks but eventually cleared up. This operation made me urinate stronger then I had inthe last 20 years. I'm 54. I can sleep 4-7 hours typically without haveing to get up and urinate which is a olot better then before. I did get retrograde ejaculation from the procedure which I knew would be likely befoe hand. I had the same phenomenon as others describe on this board which is the extreme sensation to urinate, still have that but it is lessening. I am definielt spending less time in bathroom. When I go to a sporting event I don't have to worry about going to the bathroom more them once if i don't drink excessively. It does seem like my libido is down a bit and sex is not as enjoyable. I am off any medication. Overall I would recommend this procedure only if retrograde ejaculation is not a problem. I am a pretty healthy individual other then the bph and think the recovery from the procedure is not as easy as advertised.

I am an active 61 year old with no medical conditions other the problem described below. On April 7, 2008 I went into hospital for outpatient surgery due to BHP. PVP operation went well. I did not have a catherter and went home within 2 hours.
Unfortunately the surgeon unknowing sliced my urinary bladder. which was not identified until June 11. I was released from the hospital June 14 and "wore" a cather until June 25 when my bladder was pronounced healed.
Presently (June 10, '0 Cool

The biggest problem is frequent urination, which I cannot "hold". "Enablex" seems to help 15mg. How long should this condition last e.g. when should I expect improvement?
