Does not work and does not last.
And they have to do a TURP to get it out anyway once it fails.
The TURP is not fun. BUT it works and you only need to have it once. Probably you will need to have it done in any case at some point in the future when it will be a lot more painful and harder to heal from.
Free advice and worth every cent you pay for it.
So far so good after a TURP yesterday. No pain to speak of except some discomfort when actually urinating, probably due to irritation from five weeks with a Foley catheter before the procedure. It is a little disquieting seeing that much blood in the urine, but at least I can pee when I want to and not when I don’t. The surgeon said there might be some urinary incontinence for a few days, though that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m still going to wear geezer britches for a day or so just in case.
My urologist did not recommend the Urolift. I have no complaints regarding the TURP, though recovery is by no means complete at this point.
