    I've had BHP for several years, but last week it became so enlarged I couldn't pee. The urologist let me see if it would shrink by leaving me on catheterization for several days and remove it to see if I could pee, no luck. Today he looked at my bladder through my penis. He decided that I needed to have some of my prostate removed, so I guess I will get it done Tuesday. I hope it will work(my peeing) after the operation. Damn, I hate stuff like this.

    Ken -

    Sorry to hear about your troubles.

    Hope all goes very well.

    A reminder: You may want to update any advance medical directive that could be on file at the hospital. I had some trouble getting mine changed when I was admitted thru the emergency room 2 weeks ago. I ended up with an unwelcome visit from the local elders...

    I wish you a speedy recovery.

    -Aude.

    You may want to shop around for a good surgeon. You want to find one who will tip-toe around you "important" nerves down there.

    I see so many ads for medication to shrink the prostate I'm surprised nothing worked for you. Have you tried medication?

    I heard nightmare stories about cath. and men..was it a really painful procedure? It sounds horrible.

    Did you have a PSA done to make sure everthing was OK?

    My poor daughter has a urinary tract infection and she is going through the same thing.She can't pee good. They gave her some antibiotics so hopefully it will clear up.They told her a few moths ago that she had a kidney stone. So she thought maybe she was trying to pass it.OUCH..

    Hope all works out for you. How long will you be in the hospital? Or is it outpatient?

    Snoozy..
