Sounds like it everything is working out great! I still don’t understand how the procedure was painless for you and me 😉. They killed a bunch of internal tissue and yet no pain. Remarkable.

Yes, it is remarkable that there is zero pain; my doctor told me up front that it is unlikely there will be pain and if there is it would be more of a discomfort. After the procedure I told him that were it not for the catheter I would not have known anything had been done. I had none of the pubic or scrotum swelling that some people say they have experienced.

I took Pyridium(sp) for several days until my bladder became use to the catheter and that was only to stop the sensation of needing to urinate. I took Oyxbutyn(sp) a few times for minor bladder spasms. I started Augmentin the day before the procedure and Medrol the day before the procedure. Took Flomax about a week prior and still take Flomax. I will take Flomax for about a month and then it is finished...no more meds for me.

Every patient has a body that will respond to TULSA in its own particular way. However, I am thoroughly convinced the skill level of the doctors and MRI tech make all the difference in the after procedure results. Mine were top notch, I have no complaints.
