NOTE: If you want to learn my experiences with the GreenLight treatment for BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia), please go back to the first posts on this blog. I had the treatment in late 2006.
Fortunately, there is not much news to report. I can still pee "like a firehose".
It sometimes takes up to 20 seconds to initiate urination if I didn't really need to go, such as preparing to leave on a car trip). But if I need to pee, everything works right away and like a charm.
I'm 68 years old now, retired from a desk job, staying active and feeling fine.
I travel quite a bit, sometimes with my wife and sometimes solo. If you want to see a list of the latest hot travel deals (mainly deeply-discounted airfares) that I am personally interested in, check out HowYouCanFlyFree.com
I'm still a fan of GreenLight procedure for prostate issues. I hope it works for you as well as it has for me.
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.
