Why patients are flocking to India for surgery - BBC News

Angioplasty in Kolkata (with cost) Of interest (or not)?

Bangsue

Its the cost of a leg over Im bothered about

Its a massive money maker for Thailand,the only one operating at the moment,probably into the distant future

How can anybody in Thailand sign this? There must be something oppositely untoward

Thailand is awash with covid,yet the ones punished are the covidites joining them

Phuket – The Phuket governor is aiming at drowning more Arab, Indian, and Australian tourists after the number of tourists have dropped due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the impending low season.

All these procedures just makes me want to spit, I know you do not want to go,but early morning arrival flight,diagnose,testing/operation all same day probably,at a quarter of the price given here. Put a diaper on to hide symptoms,once operation done,catheter removed there are no more urgency/leakages,its all finished

Should have sought out a private appointment,money does talk

Was a good idea from Mr Rezum himself,approach your local govt hospital,or even Chula in BKK,as a private patient, would they do this procedure? might get them to drop their phones anyway I had to as I did not follow instructions to catheterise myself for 10 days after discharge,probably have told me to get back there Do not get blockage,it hurts like hell

Once the 3 day stay,or even 5 day stay is up catheter removed no more problems,you could I guess discharge yourself after 3 days,its only for observation,as long as someone to empty bag. Probably get a heavy bleed for a few mins after discharge,no panic,just drink lots of water. You wont need any luck..smooth as silk...just get on with it All the Best

Misunderstanding LOL,imagine a farang going through this 10 mil at least

Approved for what? certainly not for urine retention,says so on the can,anyway enjoy the fact, probably the first off for treatment,what was it 250000 baht,probably had a coffee in the most expensive place on earth

If they indicate a 3 day stay should suffice Id say they were not making plans to do any extensive cutting,will be 5 days Think you are wasting time and money in Th,better off every which way India By the way extensive,not very positive comment on TURP alternative is being removed on Facebook..that being Rezum...a right con job

You will know when it get too big,endless nights of not enough sleep,change of pants 2/3 daily,no drinking anything from early evening,just a total total nightmare

Only concern is especially with cheaper quotes would be too timid with cutting tool,just do enough to get you bye,or cut out enough to stop you ever going again for repeat. Do not know if its a package you are buying or just the op,suppose you could manage at home,all you are doing is waiting for bleeding to stop

Always found Thai hospitals indifferent,language another problem,but Indian just the other way around,could not do enough for you once bed bound,and truly state of the art. I know you are not considering India,but its just over two hours away,and they truly love the English,second city of the empire Calcutta,clean,modern and bright. Save a ton of money too,get colonoscopy/endowhatever,skin cancer check up/bloodwork done/heart check up/etc etc probably for free,thats 50 k saved alone compared to Thai You will never know Google results for Thailand doctors /hospitals but India you can,do a dry run,7000 baht There must have been a hundred at least undergoing TURP whilst I was undergoing too,just a basic simple procedure

For sure. After a "university" education you too find yourself stuck in Thailand,along with the other headbangers doing their own thing

If you can divulge,the cost of TURP? Think I was quoted around 420 xxxx,had mine done around 700 US ,but 5 to 6 years ago in India,but the prices I see now are under that,many hospitals are carrying out this procedure Alternate procedures are a total waste of time,the guy above must have come out with a bill of at least 200000,probably more,its not the sort of place you come out of with a bulging wallet,even tho you entered with one,but private hospitals are down to 75000 for that procedure,pretty soon massage parlours will be doing it...prostate massage with a steaming pipe 120 baht

Twaddle,the lot of it,read results in depth. Its water retention that is the issue,prostate,none of the alternative treatments address the issue excepting temporary,As you state " TURP does not stop your prostate growing"duh bit of duh there,well quite a lot actually,only death stops it,so too with iTend, Rezum, Urolift etc. "My conditions have greatly improved lol and they are continuing to do so. Will I need retreatment after 5 years? I don't know. For Rezum the historical data only goes back about 6 years, so it is still uncertain how long it will last".........2 and a half years (if that),for sure you are not on 6 years and your data suggests nothing worthwhile has become of it,fact is its a pure waste of time and money,.......remember you have posted information,could also relate why the checking period occurred,I'm not, it will get removed, Its all If If ifs with you "However, if or when I need retreatment (something I accept), I will again have the choice of various treatments unlike someone who has been TURPed who will have much fewer options. Also, with my treatment have had not had to worry about ED or retrograde ejaculation, something that TURPed individuals are much more likely to suffer from" LOL what at 60,70 or 80 LOL TURP is the gold standard ,up to 15 years suggested,mine forever,best thing I ever did By the way your partner in "no to TURPS" might have self diagnosed "lazy bladder" as he stated, couple of pints of 4XXX might just do the trick lol

Who is a Good Candidate for the iTind Procedure? Men with prostate size less than 60 ml and no large median lobe are excellent candidates for the iTind procedure.Tind works best in patients with small-to-moderate prostate size and mild to moderate urinary symptoms. So that cuts out most candidates Urolift has minimal sexual side effects, it tends to be less effective than surgical treatment with laser enucleation or TURP or laser ablation of the prostate when it comes to improvement in the urinary flow stream Rezum does have limitations. For example, it can only be used in patients with prostrates under 90 to 100 grams. The best Rezum results are usually from small or medium prostates. So that cuts out most candidates Rezum. Inflammation can occur which is the reason for the catheter, which results in urine flow being obstructed. Some patients, need retreatment during the 4 years after the initial surgery. Since it is not an invasive technique, Rezum might have to be repeated if the prostrate grows again. Long term results have not been extensively studied since Rezum is a comparatively new type of surgery. Rezum is unsuitable for large median lobes, large prostates or patients who have urinary retention. Rezum is a minimally invasive, cutting-edge, conservative option offering both pros and cons, as you can see.and post-void residual urine in the bladder. Oh dear,that cuts out most candidates

Perhaps I should put it in a bucket of sand !! Do you not think others than you,of far greater knowledge and experience have indeed come to the conclusion that snake oil remedies are worthless,pointless, attempting to flog a dead horse

Posted March 2 That pretty much matches my findings after spending lots of cash on four different urologists. One on Samui, two in Bangkok and one in Suratthani. (The one in Suratthani kicked me out of his office and refused to treat me.) "Long term study?""proven long term beneficial treatments" how long? last fortnight or so? So Rezum/beads or whatever is now the way forward,...its just a passing phase. Time to study? think the study is over ,no effective remedy produced, well not in short term,Rezum may well produce results but by the time reporting on its progress after 18 months or so, yet another Rezum procedure is needed,hell you could be Rezummed to high heaven,opened/shut down time after time Pretty sure the people who pushed it are now questioning its worth =worthless

Please no,do not do that...anyway... "Having said that, advances have been made with Green Light laser and Holmium laser techniques, both of which appear to be superior to the original TURP, with less bleeding and fewer side effects." ...exactly what I had,or thought so,they shove anything in there to get the cutting done. All the new cures are bunkum,all you are doing is reading off a script,advertising script that is put out by get rich quick hookers,nothing has been proven to work,it doesn't. Its the grip of enlarged prostate that distorts the pipe,squeezing it,bending it,shutting it off,no amount of pill taking/implants will have one iota of difference....it needs cutting back,physically
