Q: What are pros and cons of microwave treatment verses the green light PVP?

I am a 61 year old with moderate symtoms of an enlarged prostate. I have been taking flomax for two years and it has helped but my symtoms are getting worse. My urologist suggested microwave treatment but I understand the benefits only last for 5 or 6 years. I want more long lasting results. I have recently heard of the green light lazer treatment. Can you tell me how the two treatments compare and which would be best for me?
