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.

GreenLight Prostate Procedure Patient Report - 6 Days after Surgery
Virtually all my discomfort is gone, but my urine flow continues to diminish. In fact, it's down to about where it was when I finally decided I had to have the Green Light procedure. Today is Sunday and also Christmas Eve, and tomorrow will be Christmas Day...not great times to seek medical assistance. I don't know whether or not to call the doctor today (via Medical Exchange) and seek assistance, because I figure he'll just insert a catheter and tell me to come see him Tuesday.
