Rezum Procedure

[ElbowRoom]

Hey all…

I’ve had increasing frequency/urgency of urination since my implant surgery, in spite of being on Trospium and Flomax. I saw Dr. Hakky yesterday and had an ultrasound, which confirmed the prostate protruding rearward and pushing on the bladder. I’m going back next week to be evaluated for the possibility of having the Rezum steam-ablation procedure to shrink the prostate tissue.

Has anybody had this or other prostate shrinking procedures, and what was the result. From my reading Rezum is highly effective and long lasting, but can take up to 12 weeks to get the full effect and the first 3-4 weeks can see *increased* frequency from inflammation and healing.

Thoughts?

Elbow, I had the Rezum procedure for my benign enlarged prostrate. My Army Major urologist at Brooke Army Medical Center, wanted me to have the Rezum procedure before I got my implant.
I wanted to be able to keep my natural ejaculate even though I started having less ejaculate after I had prostatitis in 2006.
I didn’t want to do the turp procedure where they roto rooter your prostrate and your ejaculate retro grades back into your bladder.
I had the procedure May 19th 2021 during COVID.
I had to totally heal before I could get my IPP implant, which was approximately 5 months, but it could have been delayed because of COVID having access to elective surgery and the availability of a surgical room.
I had my implant done Nov 5th 2021.

It has worked for me, I don’t get super urgent urges to pee and can’t hold it anymore. There are times if my bladder is full and I’ve been holding off going to take a piss, ill leak a little, but that’s only .01 percent when I’m out on my Road Bike doing a long cycle ride.

If you get it done, make sure they put you to sleep to do it.
I had it done with a local awake and I felt all the steam injections even though he had numbed me. I told him I felt the steam injections during my Followup and he said if I would have told him it was hurting, he would have stopped the procedure. Oh well, I bit the bullet like in the old Westerns when they would dig out a slug.
It takes a good while before you’re healed up. I had blood in my ejaculate for a while, and you still get sudden urges to pee for a while, but eventually it gets way better.
Elbow, before the procedure I still could have erections with Viagra or Cialis but after the procedure I had total ED.
I’m glad I finally got my Bionic Dick because nothing would work.
