Is HoLep recovery worth the procedure?

69 year old. BPH was previously being managed by medication but not to my satisfaction. Had HOLEP at Mayo Jacksonville in late October. Rough few days but started feeling better soon after and continued to improve. Followed all protocols. Had minor incontinence but was improving. One month in and things changed for the worse - pain when urinating, pain at prostate, very frequent and intense urgency to urinate, not emptying bladder. Discussed with medical team and they said that this sometimes happens and to just stay the course. Had a urine culture done to rule out UTI - was negative. They were right. Now 3 months post op and things are so much better. Very minimal (if at all) incontinence, great stream, no pain, emptying bladder, no intense urgency. Every surgery is different, everyone heals at their own pace. Overall a great surgical experience if you can call any surgery "great".

Marvelous!! I’m getting paranoid reading others different experiences. At this moment there’s a mild numbed/sting that lasts up to 30 seconds. Day 10-11 everything is normal. I just can’t run yet. Don’t want to anyway
