I believe the surgery is a bit specialised, certainly my urologist did not do it but referred me to another of his colleagues that did ( and I think he used to train others too). I believe the data is for 5 years... but also believe that's because its a relatively new procedure and that's about as far back as the data goes.
I too lived with BPH for years - very frustrating having what is commonly referred to as an old mans disease when in my mid 40's. I am most certainly the youngest in the urologist office everytime I visit! .... finally stopped the medication as I did not like the side effects of interfering with sexual function ( I did try several alternatives). I think that was also on the mind of the surgeon when he decided I would be a good candidate. So to sum it up, for me, good flow afterwards and a happy wife!
Just realised this is the second time in a week that I have answered your medical queries - sounds like you and I have had some similar issues!
Thank you CFD and for pointing out we’ve corresponded twice on these two issues, that’s remarkable.
The Urolift sounds promising but my priority is resolving my Hydrocele which is getting worse
If I may ask, which surgery did you have done first,? how long ago were they and what was the time between between the two procedures ?
It seems doubtful but are there any conflicting factors to consider between them ?
It sounds like the UL is performed in the Drs office with just a local whereas the HC is a hospital visit with full anesthesia?
