Will do. The procedure was painful even with Valium. But the pain subsided quickly and completely gone in two days. The catheter caused great pain until I was able to limit tubing movement by taping it to my leg. On the third night after, I slept eight hours! It's been years since I've had eight hours sleep! I almost asked for a permanent catheter - the two liter bladder let me sleep through the night. The procedure bothered the prostate so it grew making urinating slow, frequent and painful. The pain was caused by the catheter. The urine remaining in the bladder was 260 ml, 60 ml over the limit. So I have to recathiterize, self-catheterize, or hope I'm below 200ml this morning. More next time.

How are you doing 5 days after Rezum? Is cath still in? I am 80 years old and started with BPH symptoms about 6 years ago. I am taking tamsulosin in am and pm before bed along with 400 MG Ibuprofen. Up once a night. I was set to do REZUM months back but urologist lost access to equipment because of change in ownership. I oscillate back and forth. I see a urologist in NYC which is about 100 miles away..
