i ended up having to have the procedure done twice...bout five weeks apart. it worked like a charm after the second procedure. it did take the prostate a few weeks to heal and i was passing blood for most of that time. i agree...dont keep putting off the procedure as it is not nearly as bad as having to deal with a catheter for the better part of three months. and, if you have any doubt start the medications early. i didnt take any meds until after my first procedure. and, the the med to help diminish the size of the prostate might have forstalled the urinary stoppage for a while...
