Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Surgery Options

There is a lot of information on this online. My research told me that 1. One and done. No redo after 5-7 years. The reason is HoLep takes all of almost all the prostate tissue vs turp that just takes out enough to open the passageway. It will continue to grow and need to be opened up again with a Turp. 2. The laser used for HoLep vs microblades for Turp has less bleeding and faster recovery time. My cath was in for one day.

5.0 out of 5 stars BHP? No more enlarged prostate with this different approach:Prostacare
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2011
Verified Purchase
Tribulus the main ingredient of this Himplasia (India) ayurvedic product works on the real problem of this prostate hyperplasia (enlargement)... the hormone side... controlling the excessive male hormones (testosterone) and female hormones (estrogen) in the male leading to a reduction in size of the prostate gland.
The urgency in urination, the frequently visits to the bathroom, and the nicturia (urination at night) are controlled after just 4 days of use. I tried several dosages and names of the saw palmeto with no results... this is really effective... five stars to the product.!

I'm 64 and had the HoLEP procedure this past July and went from a garden hose trickle to a firehose concerning flow. I highly recommend this procedure. One night in the hospital to monitor bleeding then you go home and almost no pain. I've been doing great ever sense and don't have to take the med's anymore. No issue with ED. I did have to exercise my Kegel muscles to strengthen my pelvic floor which supports the urinary system. I'll be happy to answer any questions y'all have on my experience with this procedure. Like joenfl2017, I sleep through the night and the BPH is gone.

Diagnosed with PC at Mayo Clinic based on Biopsy.
I am not a doctor - My understanding of Himplasia tablets (https://himalayawellness.in/products/himplasia)
Key Ingredients includes:
Arecanut: is chiefly responsible for inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme. This action blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, the major sex hormone in prostatic cells responsible for BPH. High levels of testosterone don’t increase risk of developing prostate cancer, but low levels can lower it! Because testosterone serves as the main fuel for prostate cancer cell growth, it’s a common target for treatment. Hormone therapy (also called androgen deprivation therapy or ADT) is part of the standard of care for advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. 5α-reductase inhibitors appear to decrease low-grade cancer risk.
Gokshura
Small Caltrops (Gokshura): is useful in treating genitourinary infections, painful urination, hematuria and helps overcome symptoms associated with BPH.
Three Leaved Caper: Three-leaved Caper (Varuna) relieves post-prostatectomy atony of bladder and improves overall bladder tone. It exhibits strong anti-inflammatory action that soothes BPH-induced pain.
