Prostate surgery user reviews .... turp? rezum? other ?
rumak replied to rumak's topic in Health and Medicine
despite the published claims of low side effects .... it is my opinion from user reviews that many have issues , one of which is the one you mention. What is the exact percentage ?? i don't know . funny thing about "staying hydrated" : i was drinking a lot till recently and just the other day a Chinese "master" said that it is not true ( how many ounces, etc should one take) . Yes, i know what all the "real science" says. He says simply "drink only when you are thirsty" . Last night i hardly drank any water after 7pm ..just some sips.. and woke up only one time instead of my usual two. Now that's definitely conclusive evidence ! tongue in cheek, (AN members that look for debates ) -

i don't drink alcohol any longer ( would like to )........ but COFFEE really messed up my system . If i went for a drive in the morning i would be having a strong urge to pee almost immediately... then stop and have little flow... then get in car and within a short time have urgency again. Finally i stopped coffee (its the caffeine) cold turkey... and it helped a lot. -

rumak replied to rumak's topic in Health and Medicine
exactly . the second urologist you saw is obviously how ALL doctors should engage with their patients . Let's be honest : how many of us have that experience nowadays ? BTW: i forgot to ask : since 2017 has all been smoothe ? No further complications from the surgery ? Most importantly, no serious side effects ? -

i have been reading some other user reviews about rezum . Though i understand that most people who post do so when they have a negative outcome. That said.... there are many . I for one would post something POSITIVE about an issue if it was my experience. Sorry about your story... but thanks for sharing. One thing we know on this forum is that the members are mostly real people , living or having lived in Thailand, and are generally honest about their medical experiences. Not so much regarding their sexual exploits 😅 -

I like everything ( concise and factual ) about your posts . BUT, disagree with that one sentence above that i have quoted. Mainly because i do not have trust in Mainstreet "reliable medical sources" .. especially those almost exclusively presented on Google ,which are definitely biased ( the same sources always, and others censored) ,and as such readers can not get the full range of opinions from other medical sources. Maybe Kennedy will work to ensure that honest, uncorrupted "information" will once again be the norm. I will be talking through the issues with my urologist ...... who has not pushed Turp on me, so we will see. Thanks again for your input ! -

Thanks Ray ! Actually i think your post was exactly what i am looking for . I want to hear about all experiences , just so I (and others) can get a better sampling of these procedures. Unfortunately , a few other cases posted over the years were not so successful . From your report... I would say that yours is very positive , and of course I am happy for you. One question i have is how long has it been since your OP ? I haven't even started meds yet ! Mainly concerned with side effects as my blood pressure has always been on the low side already. Hoping to hear from others .... but realistically may not be a lot because of the relatively small forum . Thanks again for taking the time . Stay well ! -
This subject never gets old .... for those contemplating surgery for an enlarged prostate. Hopefully there are a number of members that can share their FAIRLY RECENT experiences. I have read past threads so please DO NOT repost old stories about what your doctor or friend told you , or give the Google or Youtube info which I and most others have seen for ourselves. Personal experiences of course vary ..... but rarely if ever have i read an account of someone who had prostate surgery and did not have complications. It would be really nice to hear at least one or two stories where its been a few years and all is well . Maybe i am hoping for too much 🙂 but....... worth a try . ( i have been to a good urologist... so also no need to tell me to go to one)

What is the name of the good urologist who works at Bangkok Hospital in Chiangmai ? If anyone has personal experience with a good urologist working at another hospital in Chiangmai I would welcome that recommendation as well . thank you.......

What is Trump really trying to tell us in his latest speech?
rumak replied to uncletiger's topic in Political Soapbox
The anti Trump group here will never change . Fortunately a large majority in the States finally had seen enough. Enough of the so obvious lies and lawfare of a tyrannical government . I actually was surprised . Certainly these anti Trumpers here will not own up to possibly being the victims of a great media conspiracy to brainwash them. Anyone who can sit for 16 minutes should just listen to Tulsi Gabbard giving a great summation of what transpired over the last four years ( actually longer) . Just sit and listen ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Oi7spP6xk -

Sorry immigration has it and I never made a copy I did go to a K bank and got the info ...... thanks for your reply

Thanks Bob...... seems like the tough days are here again ! I agree about the "misuse" of the booking , by individuals and I am pretty sure that some agents grab dates randomly too ( the ones without a "back door" method ) . grrrrrrr............. you are pretty sure about the 90 day window though ?

I am trying to figure out how many days the online immigration website will accept an ATTEMPT to book an appt. For example , when i look today ( the 12th of Oct ) ..... what day on the booking calender would be the latest day they allow one to TRY to book an appointment ? Since any date I click on says "nothing available on that date" .... well, what does one do ? I remember you saying you did it at 2 minutes after midnight ( which i once also did years ago) . But... i need to know what first chance to do that would be what date. Thanks ( in advance) also........ used to be some "help" for over 70 year olds. (i am able bodied). does that exist at CM immig any more ?

This looks like the one i bought 2 years ago . Works good and no problems . Pretty darn good . My receipt says its a model Dyno D3 . I saw in person at Irontec shop in Chiangmai . Paid 19k baht ..... they delivered ( it is very heavy ) https://www.irontec.co/product/treadmill-duo/ note: the one shown here MIGHT be a model slightly smaller than the one I got ( looks similar but i remember there was one at showroom smaller than the one i chose )

What is the best way to watch old movies at home in Thailand?
rumak replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Entertainment
yes, i have YT premium ...... which is great with the no ads ( and only 179 baht/mo ) but.......... had it for a little over a year and now difficult to find decent stuff on it . I type in a movie on search, but more often than not its not on offer . would like to try something like pirate bay BUT always get ticked off trying to navigate the necessary steps (as well as a little paranoid 🙂 -
