Update, I saw my urologist yesterday for the cystoscopy procedure which confirmed an enlarged prostate, everything else look pretty good. The procedure itself was not painful or uncomfortable and I got to watch on the live video feed as Steven Speilberg and George Lucas took their entire films crew up my urethra looking for the lost ark. The doctor explained everything we were looking at along the way. Due to the size of my prostate 150 grams she has recommended the HoLep procedure and can get me scheduled in about a month or so, if I decide to proceed. In the meantime I am researching everything I can about the procedure (there is a wealth of information on YouTube) and will a make decision in the next week or so. Currently I'm self cathing as needed (3-4 times a day) and other than that being a minor inconvenience it really isn't a problem with quality of life issues, like working out, going out for dinner, visiting friends or playing golf. I'm starting a list of questions to ask her i.e., how many of these procedures has she done, complication rates, issues with incontinence and retrograde ejaculation. For the most part most everything I have read and seen, the HoLep procedure looks like a pretty promising path to travel. Thanks again to everyone who has commented here, (and especially Marko). If anyone else here who has had the HoLep procedure cares to comment good or bad, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Again, thanks guys.
