From what little I understand on BPH, I think it is predominantly in the transition zone. If I'm mistaken, maybe you know more. My lesion was in the anterior transition zone, so I expect most of the transition zone was ablated. If my understanding is correct, hopefully BPH will have been addressed for the long term. I'm wondering where your lesion was and what part of your prostate was ablated. Or maybe I'm going to be experiencing what you've experienced. But I guess I will enjoy it until it comes back. We shall see.

My lesion was same area. I think BPH is anywhere in prostate, and I guess it is hard to stop. It isn't uncommon to have to do something again on BPH, watching some videos most procedures for BPH have a 20% (or more depending on procedure) re-do or other procedure in first 5 years. But I will get roughly 2 years from the Tulsa Pro on the BPH aspects (hopefully forever on the cancer), so my BPH was kind of strong I guess. You may get 5 years or never need anything again on BPH. I hope you need nothing more on BPH.
