I'm 69. I had HoLEP in April, 2022 after previously having a Urolift procedure and then Greenlight Laser procedure. The Urolift didn't help at all. They said I was emptying more volume but frequencies/urgencies continued to get worse. The Greenlight procedured was great at first. I had the strongest stream since my 20s and U/F decreased for several weeks, in less than 2 months all symptoms returned. They told me I have a very fast growing prostrate. My surgeon referred me to another for a robotic procedure. That surgeon receommended HoLEP and referred me to a qualified surgeon. I stayed overnight in the hospital for observation and to remove catheter, life has been great since. A few weeks of peeing out a few clots. Everything functions great. Sex resumed about a week after the procedure. Good luck!

@jiminos I had HoLEP last week. I'm 68 and really wrestled with the retro-ejaculation aspects of it. I had a large median lobe even though my prostate was not huge, 64 grams, but it caused a significant blockage and had high retention of urine which could really damage my kidneys long term. I thought they say not to have sex for at least 3 weeks? Are you experiencing the the retro issue? Thanks.
