Stay tuned.....

Just reading the name had me puckering up. Best of luck to you!

Today has been 2 weeks since date of surgery - 10/4/24.

Backstory is I had been dealing with BPH and other impacts from that for 3+ years. Some discomfort off/on and definite quality of life and inconvenience issues but nothing I could not work around.

What changed my mind was talking with my urologist about the long term effects of BPH and the challenges it can place on your bladder. I took urination for granted until I couldn't.

I am 56 and prior to 3 years ago was on 1 Rx that I have been on for 10 years for breathing/allergies. Aside from that very healthy and active. With BPH I was prescribed numerous meds. All came with side effects...some tolerable and some not. BUT they were only a 'band aid' and not a solution.

I share because if you are not into taking meds like me and are on the fence about having a procedure I would recommend it if appropriate. Mine was done under general anesthesia and took 15 minutes.

I am still recovering but went back to work Tuesday 10/8/24. 6 weeks for full recovery but the symptoms I had prior are not an issue now.

Good news.

Update 4 weeks out as of yesterday. All symptoms have improved since prior to the procedure. Definite improvement and only getting up 1X/night usually about 1 - 1:30 a.m. and again at 5:00 which is when I would get up anyway. I'll take it vs the 5-6X/night previously and the other discomfort that went along with the bladder having to work overtime.
