I commonly perform this procedure. My last patient says it was one of the best decisions he ever made. He did not require any pain medications, he had very little burning or bleeding. He required a catheter for 24 hours after the procedure.

Sir: i had this PVP done about a month ago, and am still experiencing urgency, and the feeling that i have not emtied after an attempt to urinate. More significantly, i have become aware that i am experiencing retrograde ejaculation. Can you tell me if these are permanent conditions, particualrly, the dry climaxing?

thx much.

I had the GreenLight procedure in May 2007. Basically it turned out good. There was very little bleeding. I did require a catheter for two months until I was able to void on my own sufficiently. Fortunately my ability to ejaculate wasnt altered. I dont as much now but at least I can a little bit. And that is probably caused by the medicine I am now taking to reduce the prostate.
