@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.

I failed to also mention that as I’m sure you already know, any cutting on the prostate will also effect any future involvement on an intimate level!

Yes, I was told, in order to retrieve the clips from the Urolift they would have to remove some of the prostate. That would remove the clips, perhaps assist in urination and No guarantee that the burning I’m currently experiencing will ever go away.
Honestly, it is not the right choice but I do limit my fluid intake to assist in not always feeling the burning sensation as severe. As the symptoms for the need to urinate increase, the burning sensation increases alerting me for the need to relieve myself. I assume there is a concern of dehydration but I’ve managed for the past 14 years functioning as I am.
We all use to be a patient to our physician; as years have passed and our physician retired and the new generation and corporate management has replaced us as a number instead of a patient! Sad!
