Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Surgery Options

Hi, you are describing exactly my symptoms almost to a tee. After much research I decided to go with the Green Light Laser surgery in 2018 at 72 and have not regretted it other than coming down with a serious sepsis infection within 24 hours that got quite serious. I believe the cause may been due to the difficulty of removing the catheter. It just kept filling making removal difficult. Never had an issue like that before and very rare apparently. I now sleep right through the night and when I urinate I am able to empty my bladder fully and easily. No more sitting on a toilet for 10 or so minutes dribbling. This is just my experience of course but certainly happy I went the way I did with absolutely no regrets. Good luck with your decision whatever you decide.

Thanks, Jeff

I've been dealing with BPH since I was 44, I'm now 60. When I was 52 I had green light laser surgery, but after just 3 years I was back on the meds. A month ago I started bleeding in my prostate which lasted for 12 days. I saw a urologist at UIHC and I'm scheduled to have transurethral bipolar enucleation on July 1st. I'm praying to G-d for a lasting solution. He's got this and I'm in His hands.
