Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Surgery Options
Men's Health | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (228)Comment receiving replies
I am 60, I developed BPH in my early 40s. I had the Green light laser treatment in 2012. It worked well, but I now have bleeding issue. I need help. I take Tamsulosin .4 mg and Finasteride 5 mg nightly. The local Urologist wants to do TURP. I'm 60, I plan to live into my 80s (Lord willing) and have had BPH for 15+ years already and need a truly lasting solution.

I’m in my mid 70s and also successfully had Green light laser treatment for BPH in 2018. Two men I know have had robotic surgery and whilst expensive have not regretted it. Wish I could add more as I feel for your situation. Good luck with your search into the help you are after.
