It has been nine months since my Rezum, and I still get up every every two hours to pee usually resulting in six hours of sleep for the night. Nocturia was the primary purpose of using the REZUM procedure. A cystoscope a few weeks ago showed a regrowth of the prostate. The urologist recommended (1) Repeating the Rezum, (2) TURP, (3) Live with it. I am considering a procedures to totally remove the prostate - Green light. HoLEP, robot, anything. Any thoughts, recommendations, or experience, on repeat procedures to address BPH?

For what it is worth.

I have BPH. On meds for a while.. I began taking 400mg of ibuprofen at night before bedtime while avoiding alcohol and caffeine at night and found that it gets me anywhere from 5 to 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep .

My theory is that it reduces inflammation and thus provides more space within the bladder to hold urine. Works for me.
