What is the purpose of the 3 month check up after the Holep procedure?
Do you what they are looking for? Do you remember what they did to you at that check up?

Couple of things.
Check PSA as I had traces of cancer in the material removed. My PSA went from 13+ to .7 and has leveled off there since my surgery
Second to check my flow and retention. First checkup wasn’t great. Second one was much better.
I am now on 6 month checkups
Forgot to mention that I had no cancerous material removed during the HOLEP.

I went to an imaging center and had an ultrasound done on both kidneys and the tech also checked to see if I was voiding. I drank 20 ounces of water 1 hour before the appointment. The following week I went to see my urologist. I was not voiding before the HOLEP. I always had 600 ml or more remaining in my bladder. This back up caused my kidneys to start failing. During this ultrasound I voided all but 100ml. Both my kidneys are working normally now. I don’t see my doctor till August and we will see what my PSA looks like after HOLEP. I also have prostate cancer that is being actively monitored.
