Medical Procedure

[pop pop]

Not a pleasant subject BUT, having a procedure done on my prostate this afternoon. Called "Rezum" and is supposed to relieve the pressure on my bladder (going often) and the restricted flow. 

Not looking forward to having it, but best of the 2 options I was offered. Didn't want the "Roto Rooter" process. 

You young whipper snappers enjoy your youth, but I will let you old guys know how it goes.

Good luck.  Hope everything comes out ok....

My old man had a similar procedure a while back. I can't tell you it was pleasant, but I think it did end up helping after a while.

My oldest brother is 66, he had problems with his a couple years ago. Wishing the best pop pop.

Had the procedure this afternoon. So far so good. Took about an hour with the DR in the his office. Got there at 3:30, home by 5:30. Not a lot of pain. Came home with a cath and bag on my leg and need to keep it until Monday then go back to have it removed. Said may have swelling and blood in urin, but not to be overly concerned unless excessive. So far, not a bad experience.

Glad it went well for you, hope for a speedy recovery and good results.

Not a lot of pain this morning. Got a cath and feel like I need to urinate constantly.  Other than dealing with the bag doing great. Expecting a more pain after the cath comes out on Monday, so I have been told.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

Got the cath out  Monday and doing well. Not a lot of pain at all. Cath was a real bother. Now hoping for good results. Dr said we will know in a month. Got some residual swelling but should go away in 2 to 3 weeks and things will be back to as normal as possible. So far, I would recommend the Resume procedure and for sure if good results happen.

I’m not sure which procedure dad had, but he said he almost pseed out the first time he peed. They took the cath out before he went home.

I had the HoLEP procedure a few years ago. I was in the hospital for a couple of days with a cath, but after it was removed I felt like I was piss'n with a fire hose for several weeks until I got used to it again.

Had very little pain so far.
