What to Expect on Your UroLift Procedure Day | Michael Hyman, MD

[@richrich6199]

Very nice explanation, I am at ease now for my procedure.

[@rdkirk3834]

I had the procedure three years ago, with a 60 cm prostate. My doctor put me under general anesthesia for the procedure with a 24-hour catheter afterward. The catheter was uncomfortable...not particularly painful, but uncomfortable, and I went home the same day. For the next week, I had to stay close to the bathroom, because I had very little holding control when the urge to urinate hit (although I never urinated in bed...I actually began sleeping longer right away). No travelling that first week. For about another two weeks I had to make sure I knew where the closest restroom was. It took about two months before I re-learned how to hold myself reliably. But since then, the results have been wonderful, and I'm fully satisfied. My doctor has me come in every six months to check things out, but it's all good.

Just had the procedure yesterday, in the hospital under general anesthesia. It was perfect. I was out for a total of 25 minutes. Anticipatory tension and comfort level was a non-issue. After I woke up, I had a bit of pain for about 30 minutes. The catheter was taken out in Recovery, I urinated and was discharged. I slept well last night and today feel practically 100%. By this morning, all traces of blood in the urine were gone. I was very happy it was NOT done in the office under local anesthesia.

I would want the procedure done as you did! I don't want everyone in the world in there! I want to be OUT! I want a little dignity! 😩

[@paydawy]

Thanks Doctor Hyman for showing the urolift procedure. I am schedule for prostatic urolift next 2 weeks. I am little nervous for it's my first time. I am praying for my Doctor and his assistant to make this procedure successful. Thank you and God bless you on your given skills and talents.

[@paydawy]

How you feeling I’m 48 should I do it ????

[@stevekiemele995]

1.5 months out. Usually wake up once but sleep 8 hours about 2 nights a week. Previously always got up 3 times minimum. Doc used fentanyl and propofol. First 4 days following was awful. Now fine and glad I did it.

[@bbulliard]

very well explained. great video~. thank you!

[@slava1959]

Urolift lasted for only two years( was hoping for five or even ten). Tried to talk to them but they refused to talk to me.

[@slava1959]

@@Mike-ug8yc I agree. I was hoping for a lot longer

[@seanedwards677]

Dr. I have a question. I had the procedure today in a urologist office and i am not happy with the way it went so far. I had a catheter put in and i gave been in excruciating pain for the past 10 hours and i cant seem to shake the urge to urinate it feels like razorblades in me. Is this normal? Was i supposed to get some kind of pain medicine after? I have drank almost 3 liters of water but i keep evacuating blood.

[@grimreaper4015]

Thank you

[@lamarrharding4776]

I had that procedure, the nitous oxide and lidocaine didn't make the poke of needle pain free. The pinch that didn't go away for 6 months until I got tadilafil to shrink my prostrate. If I had to do it again I'm going to try PAE! I sure as he'll won't do REZUM OR TURP!!!

[@fearedgeneration1239]

Have an appointment scheduled for next month but a lot of questions. retrograde ejaculation. And Dr said no 100% guarantee on that one . Some other guys I have spoke to told me it only lasted two years ? So very unsure about having this procedure done

[@markderemer9625]

Where are you located

[@stephendoing2253]

Thanks for this information. I have a question. Is retrograde ejaculation always experienced after this procedure?

[@paydawy]

I have 90% of ejaculation is gone but I’m scared to do this because most people are not happy after surgery ?????!!!! Your Thought please ?

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Dr Hyman when did you have this procedure done to you? Also you would have to clobber me over the head cause I don’t want or desire to have something shoved up my private. Rather be knocked out. Oh you failed to mention that there are times when the clips fail, ouch 😮. My friend had the procedure in September 2023 and still having problems in the bathroom. 😮

[@eleveneleven6638]

Urolift completely and permanently destroyed my life !!!! Now I am faced with my new urologist wanting to do another surgery (greenlight) to correct to the botched UROLIFT procedure. I am told I would have to self catheterize everyday possible for the rest of my life. My symptoms now are WORSE than before Urolift. Please be advised and don't say I didn't warn you if you get this procedure !!!!!

[@bms2550]

Had this done November 2021 and I got no relief and I now get up even more during the night to urinate. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROCEDURE!!! 👎

[@erics3908]

I had this procedure done in December of 2023 after being talked into it by my Dr. There were so many things wrong I could write a book on this. Bottom line, this procedure did not work. The pain during the procedure- with local was extreme. This procedure should never be done with local and laughing gas! There are so many stories where this procedure was Performed and the clips needed to be fished out using a diff procedure. I just had aquablation where six clips needed to be removed. My advice is get multiple dr opinions.

[@lubo9250]

Dr Michael Hyman?! Are you friggin kidding me?

[@trumpeter19]

Who is here after good mythical morning

[@yzoons_1]

Dr. I have one question about penile length that does size matters cause I feel shamed that my penis is really small its just 5.5inch is it ok to have that much ? I am from India so maybe biologically is it ok size ?? Please reply

[@stephendoing2253]

Dude 5.5 is normal size! I would think a long Johnson would make this procedure more difficult

[@nanasloves]

Don’t do it, it’s been a nightmare for my husband. He’s had 5 corrective surgeries ending with a Turp and needs one more from scar tissue causing a problem.

[@mpomerlo]

Super

[@tomsantella5538]

Urolift does not work they have to remove clips it's a 50% failed it's a fast money maker for the Dr

[@paydawy]

Wow

[@tommac21]

1st of all I would never. 2nd of I did you'd better completely knock me out for at least a day. 3rd there would never be woman within 200 ft of this procedure
