I'm in mid 70 and have been taking Avodart and Flomax for the last two years for enlarged prostate. Little improvements of the sysmptons have been noticed with the medication therapy. Recently, my urologist recommends a two-step procedure to treat the conditions. First try the heat treatment using microwave, and then followed by TURP, a more invasive procedure, if the first method does not produce the deisred results. Would appreciate answers or comments to the following 2 questions:

(1). Is the two-step procedure described above widely adopted by urologists?

(2). Is there a better procedure than TURP, which results in a faster recovery with fewer complications and little adverse side effects.
