[QUOTE="gsr26251, post: 230080, member: 43677"] I will be 64 in November, and have been on TRT off and on for about 10 years. There was 2 years in those 10 that I was off TRT mostly due to a relocation and then trying to find a doctor that would prescribe the testosterone. 2 months ago I underwent the HOLEP procedure with a very reputable doctor who specialized in that procedure. My prostate was about 3x normal size, no cancer, just big. The procedure was outpatient, went home with a bag which they removed the next day at the follow up. I wore a diaper for about a week thereafter to accommodate dribbling and some post surgery bleeding. The recovery has been pretty straightforward without much side effects. They will want you to take it easy for about 6 weeks ... no heavy lifting, not a lot of sitting, etc. I went back to work after only a few days at home since I have a stand up desk and don't do a lot of sitting. Having to re-educate the pelvic floor muscles is probably the most important thing you can do in the recovery. The only big change is 70% of men lose the ability to ejaculate during orgasm, but you still have an orgasm. This has been my case and I don't find it an issue at all, it's just different. From the research I did, if you have a large prostate the HOLEP is about the only way to go that makes any sense. The drugs are not a solution they just treat symptoms, and if your prostate is too big the Urolift will not work. I was also told that generally speaking the Urolift is a temporary solution at best as many men will have to have the procedure done every 5 years ... especially if your prostate is large and especially if you are on TRT. I didn't have this choice as I was told my prostate was too large to even consider Urolift. [/QUOTE]
