Patient story

“"My quality of life has returned"”

Mr C, Hampshire
Back to all patient stories

Following a couple of years of BPH symptoms including frequency of needing the toilet - especially at night, urgency, urinary infections and retention, it was decided that I needed corrective surgery. Medication hadn't worked and the problems were worsening.
Having looked into treatment options, it appeared recovery could take some time. The option of a TURP did not appeal and not all the minimally invasive options were going to suit me.Following a consultation with Richard Hindley and various diagnostics, we decided on GreenLight Laser as I had a sizeable prostate of 125ml. Green Light Laser surgery I was assured should last out my lifetime.

Following the procedure, I was expecting some pain afterwards, but there wasn't any. After an overnight stay, I returned home with a catheter. I immediately stopped taking the Tamulosin & the hallucinations I had been getting at night stopped.
After the catheter was removed, there was an immediate improvement in flow, and following recovery recommendations my urine soon became clear.

Five months after the procedure, I have fully recovered, my quality of life has returned, also my sex drive, without retrograde ejaculation.

My thanks go to Mr Hindley & his team at The Hampshire Clinic.
