Indigo Laser Treatment or PVP?
|
|
|
| I recently went to the Hattiesburg Clinic Urology Dept(Hattiesburg,
Mississippi) and saw Dr. Randolph Ross. He suggested the Indigo Laser
Treatment. He did say that retro-ejaculation is still a strong
possibility with this non-invasive surgery. I want to know what kind
of percentage or the odds of that occurring to me? I am a 50 year old
male and my wife (me included) is not thrilled that I may no longer be
able to ejaculate normally as I do now. I have NO serious sexual
problems at this time but have advanced BPH, medication is not
working. I would like to know what is the nationwide percentage of
cases that do have retro-ejaculation compared to those that don't with
both PVP and Indigo Laser.
I have read that PVP may be a better course than Indigo Laser.
Also, do you have any information on the Hattiesburg Clinic and Dr.
Randolph Ross or where I can find out information on their success
rate?
Thank you!

| If you think that Indigo Laser is "non-invasive" you have bad information.
I had PVP and could not be more pleased. I think PVP is generally
considered to be less "invasive" than Indigo, but it is still surgery.
Soon after PVP I had normal ejaculations, then I went full retro, now at
close to one year post PVP I am partial. The differences have been
barely noticeable - it's no big deal.
