Congratulations to your experience! I endured a one-hour barbaric TUMT at age 47 in early 2010. Look it up youtube, they don't treat terrorists nearly as bad. One hour with a microwave turkey-baster style prong inserted due to congenital birth defect resulting in retainment of up to 900-ml. This was NOT performed at Mayo, but local doctor scared me into getting it done asap. I had NO ED before procedure, just urine retention. I'm still suffering major ED today. Was told it was be good for "years" but required a 2nd laser PVP in 2016. Again, blindly allowed another doctor in another state to perform. What was I thinking? ED worsened. Today I'm self-cath and retaining about 300-ml, but terrified to have yet another local doctor to push me into HOLEP...he's got 200 surgeries under his belt (he states). In retrospect, I would have skipped all surgeries and been self-cath, but had a happy life/wife otherwise. It pays to be educated and stay conservative. I would recommend self-cath to every man, but that's just my opinion. I have spoken to Mayo urologist and respect them; but I'm just scared.
