Yes, I had 2 PVP lasers. The second one was a couple of years after the first, at least partly due to a stricture from the first. The second one lasted about 10 years and I thought the Rezum would be easier to have done and less likely to cause a stricture. It was rather painful and took a solid month to tell any difference and then not as much as the PVP produced. Within 5 years I was in need of more surgery and elected HOLEP. My thinking was that this procedure would remove the most tissue and last longer than PVP.

Had recurring infections almost every 3-4 weeks. Had HoLEP last December and haven't had an infection since. Wish I hadn't waited so long. I flew to North Western and Dr. Krambeck did the procedure. No discomfort or negative after effects. I heard of guys driving home the next day.
