Does Bipolar Plasma Procedure Cause Retrograde Ejaculation?
Is retrograde ejaculation virtually always present after the bipolar plasma procedure for BPH? Is there anyway to avoid this side effect or to treat it? I had it with Flomax and didn t like it but outflow symptoms are ruining my life for years. is there any risk of ED?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Since bladder neck is vaporized in Bipolar Plasma Vaporization of prostate there are high chances of getting Retrograde Ejaculation as it occurs when prostate is resected by other modalities. .
One has to accept this considering the quality of life and relief from obstructive urinary symptoms due to enlarged prostate.that one gets after this surgery .
