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!

| Take it from someone who has been there- retrograde ejaculation is
nothing to be concerned about except if you want more children. The
feelings are the same!

| Hmmm. Not in my case. I think retro is kinda like eating a meal without
adding salt when cooking.....I guess one can get used to food without salt,
but it is not as enjoyable. Nonetheless, I do agree that it is nothing to
be "concerned" about, especially if fathering days are history.
Besides, if one can't reduce the size of a prostate with meds, then there is
likely no recourse except one of the operations. Even with meds there is
probability of retro or even loss of libido, depending on the meds....in my
non-medical opinion. All I can say is, wishing you the best of
outcomes...no pun intended.

| I got used to food without salt...it tastes great. I also find retro
to make not much difference.

| Your doctor is most likely trained in the use of the indigo laser and
not pvp.
You need to determine what's best for you, not what's best for the
doctor. I would seek another opinion from a doctor who is experienced
in a multitude of treatment options. Personally, I would avoid the
indigo. jmo.
