Pablo, the catheter was in for three days and then fell out the morning it was to be removed. Tamsulosin sounds like it's working for you. They put me on that and took me off Myrbetriq. I will try Oxybutynin before going back to Myrbetriq for co$t reasons. Getting up only once at night sounds pretty much good to me. The PA said "the two weeks after the REZUM procedure sucks." It might not be worth going through the Vicodin, REZUM, catheterization, two weeks of serious discomfort, self-catheterization (which I am now doing) to get rid of one nighttime biffy-visit. Think about it.

I forgot one step: Multiple ultrasound scans of the bladder. Not painful, but a hassle to go in to get smeared with jelly and told you have too much urine in the bladder and need to be re-catheterized or learn how to self-catheterize.

The best part of the whole week was when I was wearing a 2 liter cath bag and slept non-stop for eight hours for the first time in YEARS!
