Positive UroLift results - How long will it last?

Posted by olderandwiser @olderandwiser, Mar 31 5:27pm

I'm 71 and I had the UroLift procedure done 3 years ago and so far, everything is still great. I'm only getting up once a night to pee and when I do pee, it's like I'm a teenager again! (no more waiting for it to start and then stopping and going several times)
My question is, how long will it last?
I have had over 3 years of no BPH symptoms and I don't want this to end!
Any other UroLift patients out there?

I'm very glad you are happy with your UroLift after 3 years, so was I. But you may be prepared for your symptoms to return after another 3-5 years, mine did. I then tried meds with little help and when I had a large blader stone I got a HoLEP procedure from Dr. Slade in Boise. That totally solved my problems and was WAY less pain and problems than my UroLift. Now I often sleep through the night and at age 74 that that is like 20y ears earlier.
