Reclast side effects

I had the UROLIFT placed to help with urination; did not seem to help and I developed this awful burning sensation any time I urinated; would give me cold chills. So, urologist removed all that they could without touching the prostate. The four clips remain on back side of prostate and I continue to have that burning sensation anytime I urinate. I was told that some people the burning sensation goes away and some it doesn’t, guess I’m one! I do know that the clips can be removed but there is not a 100% assurance that the burning sensation will go away. In addition, on an intimate level, removing any of the prostate would give you a premature ejaculation; causing the seman to travel to the bladder and there would be no more “ Happy moment” if you will and so I chose to leave things as they are and never would of had the Urolift if I knew I was going to have this constant burning. The Urolift might not be the culprit; hitting a nerve just right could be the issue and no guarantee that nerve will go back to normal.

@dannyandebbie That is exactly the kind of bad result that I was afraid of when I decided against Urolift. Sorry that happened to you. As best I could tell having pain and needing the Urolift removed happens only to a small number of men but if you are one of them - just like with the osteoporosis meds if you are one of them with long term side effects, it's the s..x.

Your comment here is more detail than I was able to find when I was looking into this several years ago. I'm still trying to figure out what to do, so thanks for sharing your experience.
Were you told that to remove the clips that they would have to remove part or all of the prostate? Since the Urolift procedure has failed and now is removed have you decided on anything in terms of helping with urination?
Best of luck to you on this and on dealing with osteoporosis.
