Well, it's noon the day after surgery and I continue to feel good. There is no discomfort from the prostate area. The severe burning sensation while urinating has considerably diminished, although it's still not a lot of fun to pee. My stream has not improved tremendously, but the doctor said it requires about a week. I took a Flomax this morning and probably will do so for a few more days. (Down from 2/day previously.)
The amount of blood in the urine is tiny, probably just a few drops. No blood clots have been seen.
I'm continuing to avoid lifting heavy objects, but I probably will go shopping later today.
Oh, and I'm not impotent :-)
NOTE: THESE POSTINGS ABOUT MY GREENLIGHT TREATMENT ARE IN REVERSE ORDER. TO START AT THE BEGINNING, PLEASE CLICK ON 2005 IN THE LEFT COLUMN. BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, enlarged prostate gland, or 'prostrate' gland) is a vexing medical condition that affects most men in their 50s and beyond. For me, it started when I was about 47. It causes a reduction in urine flow and retention of urine in the bladder, which can lead to bladder infections, urinary tract infections and prostatitis.
