Pee In Morse Code - My Enlarged Prostate & Me
Another blogger who had prostate problems found this site and gave me a link back. Thanks! But that is not why I am writing.
I had a HoLAP procedure on my enlarged prostate.The other blogger had a green laser treatment of his prostate. He wrote a chronicle of his prostate problems. He starts with a description of why he calls his blog Pee In Morse Code. He describes his prostate surgery with the Green Light PVP procedure. He also describes his recovery and the health of his prostate as the years go by. For anyone considering treatment for BPH, his blog is a must read.
I must say that his experience was much different than mine. He had lots of post-surgery pain and blood clots. After my HoLap procedure, there was virtually no pain, but I still had a Foley catheter. He also had lots of urinary tract irritation and, apparently, the medications he was prescribed offered little relief. The irritation was most likely due to the green light laser inserted through his urethra.
Another difference is that he is taking Avodart, which reduces the size of the prostate through chemistry. I was offered a choice of medicinally reducing the prostate size or doing it surgically. I choose surgery so that I could avoid taking any drugs with their side effects.

#1 prostate symptoms
I’am happy to share my comment on this subject matter in memory it is reported that a small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40 (60 percent of men) and more than 90% of men over age 80. Normally the prostate keeps on to develop during a man's lifetime, resulting in enlarged prostate typically only forming later in life. Thus, men in their older age are the most common to report enlarged prostate symptoms.
Still there is a lot to learn about the causes of swollen and enlarged prostate; however some factors are clear contributors. Hormonal imbalances and an unhealthy lifestyle are two of the most common factors to contribute to an enlarged prostate.

'Pee in Morse Code' - I like it, a very witty name for an extremely un-amusing condition.
