Yes he told me in advance that the median lobe protrusion was such that he
would have to do a lot of work in this area. He told me this would
proabably result in retro and he was right. This doesn't particularly
concern me.
Did you have urgency and frequency or any

Not urgency but I always seemed to be piddling - my stream was fairly
pathetic even with flomax and I never passed much at one time. Because I
was retaining so much I guess I just kept topping up and having to go
again... If we were going out I might go three times in ten minutes each
time producing a little. My wife said I went to the loo every hour or so
during the day and she's probably about right. This would now seem to be a
thing of the past and when I do go I produce a strong stream which starts
well and ends without any dribbles or drips. Just like when I was a lot
younger! I think you mustn't be put off by posts from people who have
problems after PVP. That's why they're still posting. The vast majority
have good results and probably no longer read this group. I hope I will be
one of them, although I appreciate it is early days.
Richie, thanks for your warning. I know I'm not out of the woods yet and I
will be careful. I don't seem to have had any bleeding other than a couple
of drips on the first afternoon, will that make blood clots less likely?
Does everyone pass blood clots, some worse than others, or do only a few
have that problem? I should have asked Mr Muir about this....
Best wishes
Huw
