Rezum procedure

Men's health
1

just wanted to let you know that I had the rezum procedure done 5 weeks ago because I was getting up 6 or 7 times a night to pee. Well last night I only got up 1 time so I would say the procedure is working. Seems like it just takes time for everything to be normal again.  Hopefully this will be the trend. Thanks to everyone in this forum for all of your info.

Hi, Did you have urine rentention? Why did you get the rezum? I'm 86 years old ?

Sounds very good.

Excellent new Ron. It must make you guys who get up several times a night so tired the next day. I presume you do not really need to pee, just the bladder saying to go and get rid of 50cc or so? Do sleeping tablets help you sleep through the wake up call, or is the call too strong?

 Congradulations. I hope it sticks. Please let us all know how the progress continues, and give us some more details on your proceedure and your pain level. That is wonderful news. Any sexual issues? We want to hear your story.

Ron Thank you I will need to look into this procedure currently researching PAE

Here is my story. I was getting up 6 or 7 times a night to pee plus some other urinary problems that really didn't bother me except the getting up. I went to a urologist seeking help for the getting up. At first he said I had prostatitus. He gave me some antibiotics for the problem and told me to come back in a couple of weeks. I went back and the same problem was going on and he said he was sure that was my problem. Then he started giving me medications for the problem of which non helped, when he exhausted all meds he suggested this new procedure called rezum. I thought why not, nothing else was working. I had the rezum procedure done on July 25 in his office and he gave me some pills to take before the procedure. Going up my rectum was the most painful where I think he numbed my prostate. The actual steam shots were not painfull and the procedure lasted about 40 min. He sent me home with catheter  and I had to use it about 12 or 15 times which was awful until I could pee on my own. Finally start peeing on my own, and it burned and blood came out for about a week. Finally subsided and it seems like normal again. Hope this story helps anyone considering rezum procedure. No sexual side effects as of now.

Thanks Ron- great that it worked out for you.

What does "seems like normal again" mean?

13

Seems like normal means not getting up 6 or 7 times a night to pee. Only getting up 1 or 2, seems normal. Hope this answers your question.

14

Thanks for the info on Rezum. can you tell us what quailfyied you for this procedure?Glad your feeling better.

Ron, thank you for sharing your story. So encouraging to see new and better procedures develop. Just a quick question (and it might be too early to tell). Did you suffer from a week stream and did the procedure help with that or any other urinary issues?

Thanks.

16

Can't really tell about stream seems to be the same as before the procedure.  If I think in future it gets stronger I will let the forum know.. No other urinary issues except getting up at night.

Hi Ron, Did you have urine retention?

18

No urine retention , thank goodness.

i don't understand what you mean by qualified.
