HoLEP procedure experiences?

Posted by southgeorgia @southgeorgia, Aug 6, 2023

Background: 62 yo in good health, no meds or other conditions other than 3,3 Gleason and 4.8 PSA. Had my first visit to Mayo (Jacksonville) and was blown away by their efficiency, courtesy, and knowledge. Had blood test, MRI, and Uriflow exams. I am currently on active surveillance with an enlarged prostate causing retention and flow issues, risking damage to my bladder which shows some distention. I have a tele-health appointment this week to discuss having a HoLEP procedure (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) and would love to hear from you if you have had this done in regard to your experience, what to expect, what to ask the surgeon, etc. Thank you!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I'd like to know too. Have similar symptoms with delayed response to urinating and poor flow. Gleason of 3+3. on active surveillance post biopsy, so PSA is over 9. Avid road cyclist
