I'm just under 2 weeks out of Holep and things seem to be going generally very well. I do have some urgency even after I urinate and - (i.e., even after I urinate, I often still feel an urge to urinate but it appears that my bladder is emty when I try to urinate again to relieve the urge). I have small amounts of bllod in my urine from time to time.. My flow is good and drmaticly improved vs. pre-Holep.
In my case, they only removed the center lobe as it was described as acting like a flapper valve because of its growth and pressing against the bladder neck/uretera. The lateral lobes were described as not interferring with urine flow. My biopsy was negative.
I was released from the hospital with no catheder the day after the surgery (hospital stay was under 24 hours) - and drove home with my girlfriend the day after my release.
Will update as I progress. Looking pretty good to date.
Great-who performed the surgery?
It sounds like you are doing quite well-it takes time to heal---blood in the urine and then scabs later...
Just wondering if holep gave u retrograde ejaculation with only the medium lobe removed.
For whoever had HOLEP in 2013 - how are you doing now - 8 years later....Me - completed HOLEP 5 weeks ago; Wondering long term results - like you at 8 years???
