Prostate removal after implant

Postby WyoMan » Mon Jul 15, 2019 10:17 am

I'm 7 months plus after implant and that is going great. But lately night bathroom trips and other urinary problem come up, so I'm thinking an open prostatectomy may be in my future. (My prostate was too large for TURP before embolization so I expect It might still be).

So, I am wondering if anyone on here has had PR after Implant. Was the any complications between the two, etc.? Or did the dr have the change the approach? Things like that.
Thanks in Advance

I haven't had any prostate procedures after implant, but I could be heading for something.
My PSA levels are rising all of a sudden and I had 12 or 13 biopsies taken a week ago.
I get my results next Monday the 22d of July.

We'll see where this goes.
