my doctor recommended i should do a holmium laser ablation of the prostate does anybody know if this procedure helps for urinating frequently and the results and the side effects
HoLEP is supposed to be an excellent procedure if you can find a doctor who has enough experience with it.
what other symptoms do you have ?
i have frequent urination during the day and quiet yellow urine all the time
just frequent urination i was on medication for 6 months but no help so he recommend this he preformed a cystoscopy and he recommend this procedure
From what I’ve read, HoLep is the best currently. Big improvements, high success rate, long lasting results, well proven. Side effects: RE almost certain, temporary incontinence months after. It’s the first thing on my list. Hank
Destroying tissue in any way you want to call it is going to be radical in my Humble opinion The only one I am considering is Urolift
Its tops on my list also. (FLA would be but the expense without a guarentee rules it out) Aren’t they working on HOLEP that preserves ejaculatory function?
So, you thinks its better to take your prostate and squeeze it down to a smaller size while leaving all the excess tissue in tact?
I almost had FLA, if not for jimjames, and I am glad now that I didn’t. Re HoLep preservation of normal ejaculation, I don’t know that they are studying that. I am willing to take my chances with 80% RE, and 1% of incontinence. CIC and meds are getting old for me. Hank
