I am thinking that I will stay on Flowmax! This HoLep doesn't sound good, I had enough problems with Aquablation that only helped 7 months and prior to that a Urolift that didn't help at all. Seen doctor yesterday and asked why Aquablation only lasted 7 months and not 5 years or possible 10 years like promised, all he said was guess they didn't take out enough tissue, would I like another procedure. Said NO, I getting by on Flowmax. Interesting that you folks are having this leakage, I was told there only a 1 percent chance of that happening.

I had HOLEP 3 Dec 2024 and still have leakage. I don’t do pelvic floor exercises every day like I did for the first 7 months. I am still using 1 to 2 liners daily. My prostate was 100 grams and the urologist removed 60% of it. I don’t have a forceful stream, but I do empty my bladder. It has been a long journey for me that has yet to end. I started doing pelvic floor exercises again yesterday to hopefully stop more of the leakage.

So, it has been more than a year. I am having no problems, no leakage, no Flowmax. All good and I would recommend HoLep enthusiastically.
