I am 76 yr old. I am scheduled for Greenlight laser therapy for BPH. I am hoping to hear others experience with this surgery.

Had this procedure done.....it worked for about 4 weeks, then back to bloockage. I ended up getting the Holep procedure and after 8 months all good.

After laser did you develop urinary stricture?
What was the cause of blockage in 4 weeks?
I developed stricture 4 weeks after laser ,blockage.
It was bad experience.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

My urine flow got slower and slower and slower over the 4 week period.....I was fine for about 10 days, then slowly went back to blockage . MY urologist did not give me a reason, he just immediately scheduled the Holep. Tremendous difference, had the blood in urine for about a week, then slowly climbed back to good urine flow...it really made a diffference.
