Avoiding Sexual Dysfunction in BPH Surgery

[Pauly_P]

I have concerns with green light, due to the possibility of retrograde ejaculation. For Urolift, I believe the metal retainers they use make it perhaps impossible to do an MRI on the prostate. As well I believe you don't get as much flow increase w/ Urolift. Are you aware of any other concerns with those procedures?

I asked my doctor about doing an MRI with Urolift and he said it was not an issue. Doing some quick research suggests there are some limitations as to the magnet rating. Frankly all of these procedures are a trade off in one way or another. Urolift should give you a good increase in flow as reported by jclark. It is also much less invasive than others.

Thanks Pauly. I appreciate the reply. You are right. None of the procedures are perfect and they all offer tradeoffs in one way or another.
