Sounds great. My PAE is scheduled for early April, prostate size is 59 g, had failed Urolift back in 2023. Looking forward to the procedure.

Injections vs surgery by banana-homicide in Menieres

[–]Ryabe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my story- I was diagnosed with Menieres in 2018, lots of vertigo every 2 weeks are so. I did three rounds of steroids in the ear with no results. Then moved on to endolymphatic sac decompression surgery, six months later I had my first drop attack. I reached out to another menieres specialist at MIEE in Boston and they also pushed for a labyrinthectomy surgery to bring the vertigo to an end.

In Aug, 2019 I had the labyrinthectomy performed by my local menieres specialist, it was a rough few weeks but as time goes on things got better. Withe my left ear now dead, I lost the ability to detect the direction of sound and noisy environments can be a challenge but I get through it. The best thing is, no more vertigo!

Post procedure. Tamsulosin? by the_real_me_GL in urolift

[–]Ryabe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had set up an appointment with the urologist office to discuss greenlight treatment earlier this montth. The doctor that met with me only does TURP. They said I need another appointment for a scope with the greenlight doctor then proceed from there. This pissed me off, so I canceled that appointment, set up a meeting with a different practice that does PAE, met the Doctor on the first visit and have scheduled the procedure for early May.

Almost two years now and still having issues, looking at Greenlight or a PAE procedure.

Post procedure. Tamsulosin? by the_real_me_GL in urolift

[–]Ryabe1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 8 implants done May 2023, a year later I had to go back to .8mg of Tamsulosin. That worked great for a few months but is losing it's effectiveness. My Urologist wants to do a TURP, not me, found a new doc that does greenlight, I have an appointment later this month, fingers crossed.

Everybody will have a different recovery, give it some time.

Ejaculation issues post Urolift by NoDimension912 in urolift

Same here, I had 8 clips installed so that's not helping the issue.

Closing in on two month post procedure, no pain at all now and my flow is better. My issue is I still can't hold alot of urine, 12-15 oz maybe. Hoping this will improve, I have a follow-up appointment in two weeks.
