BPh and getting an implant

Postby Latane » Mon Apr 01, 2019 6:19 pm

Hello Guys

58 year old Irish guy beginning to suffer from what I think is BPH -getting up to pee at night and sometimes during the night finding it difficult to start . No problems during the day . Probably need to see a uro and then the challenge of deciding on a treatment . Not a clue !

I need to get an implant and have considered going to Dr. Eid or Kramer - don’t feel the docs here do enough implants. Wondering now how to go about getting the BPH sorted along with getting an implant . Have read about REZUM , Urolift and PAE . All opinions appreciated . Noel, Dublin
57 year old gay Male / Dublin , Ireland / Diagnosed with venous leak 2016 . Tried all pills and Muse . Now considering an implant .

I had Urolift procedure done 30 days before implant. Didn't really see the benefits until about 30 - 60 days AFTER the implant but now my nights are pee free. I would suggest the Urolift over medication. I took the medication before the Urolift and found that the fact that you don't ejaculate during orgasm was a big deal for my wife. (May not be a big deal for your significant other or you.) Urolift is a quick procedure where you put under anesthesia for about 15 minutes and you're done. Very little pain with very good results.
Suffered with ED for most of my life. Viagra then to Trimix then implanted 3/8/2018 with AMX 700 CX 21cm with 1cm RTE. 50 years old Urolift procedure performed 30 day prior to my implant surgery.

My question is a little off-topic, but your mention of your wife's attitude brought up this question in my mind.

Some women put a great deal of stock in whether or not their man ejaculates. Some women would much rather not have to deal with the semen. (The "wet spot" syndrome)

Does anyone know what the reasoning/feeling/emotions are behind either attitude?

My girlfriend likes that I have an orgasm and feels unfulfilled when I don't (or feels that she has not fulfilled me), but I have not asked her how she would feel if I orgasmed without ejaculate.

Thanks for reading and thanks for any thoughts you may post.

There is a lazier treatment called the green light to treat your problem. A friend had that done with good results. Probably worth looking into.
Age 72, married 30 years, had Robotic RP 8/06.17, non nerve sparing. Lengthy recovery problems after surgery & radiation. On hormone therapy so no libido. Use Trimix with results. Considering implant, concern re painful recovery
