Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Surgery Options

I had Rezum 2.5 months ago. Right now, I would seek out other alternatives. When they say minimally evasive...boloney...it's evasive. First off, I did not do enough research on other treatments and put way too much trust in my URO. Make sure you go to someone that measures the size of the prostate so you know what you are dealing with, that was my first mistake. I had some complications after the catheter came out 5 days later. I could not void and had to use a catheter daily for 2 weeks, then my voiding got down to <200 ml. I also had a wicked UTI, Now at 2.5 months I am still not peeing any better, I had to cath the other night. Maybe Maybe (praying here) that in 2-3 months from now it will get better, otherwise this was a total fail and looking at other options, all have their possible complications. Hope this helps!

People considering a surgical procedure would benefit tremendously in my opinion if they could read hundreds of post surgery results like yours Mark before they decided to choose a particular surgical procedure. Having read many dozens of after surgery Rezum reports I tend to agree with you that in spite of it being a short in office procedure, after surgery tissue trauma and healing might take longer than some doctors suggest. "All have possible complications." So at least I'd want a prognosis and options tailored to my particular medical case from a team of doctor specialists like might be found at the Mayo Clinic.
