  1. You know you are heading for a TURP,scrap the overpriced urologist in Bangkok,save it for trip to CCU. Use of catheter is nothing short of cruelty,damned painful. Monsoon season opens 3rd week of June over there,you don't walk but swim,was badly hit last year, better getting it done before ,best thing ever Really objected to sky high quotes here in TH when searching for surgery,just followed other advice,not that I did not already know,Calcutta/Hydrabad/Pune/Chennai were some ex pats were jetting off to,probably cheaper pricing too than Bangalore,anyway google just google anything quotes/reputations etc .....and always ask for price firstly,even taxi,shave or haircut,even roadside
  2. No need to go to India just for that,get loads of testing done,nice cotton shirts made cheap Tested myself on discharge from hospital,few drinks,would have kept me awake all night,slept all night,no getting up Surgeon informed the prostate cut back in such fashion it would no longer give problems,took out two thirds,had CT scan afterwards in Th for proof they kept in touch,drink plenty of water after it,flushes the scabs from op,plus other debris,could not put catheter up myself froze at thought Not going for cataracts,least I hope not get 20/20 back again or even 40/40 Need e visa for India,pain in backside filling it in,just put m mouse time after time,will be enjoyable time for you,good experience ,even have cut throat razor shave whilst in bed 10 baht
  3. Over 95% success rate after TURP,but anyway wary of coming back into Thailand or Id have been and done,once restrictions hopefully finish I can get on with it. Whilst there I'm getting knee looked at MRI first MRI Scan Cost in Bangalore
  4. Well there flyin' 7000 baht return BKK to CCU,spoke to consultant there at PM,d hospital,excellent place/price...go for it...Rupee now over 100 to the pound,,when there I got 83,so a bargain,sort of have the op and well pay for it Two stage op for me day 2 and five ,just likened to covid,but eye,at a price that would be in stratosphere at Ruthin..all of those prices are unbelievable ,really unbelievable new message Take last two zeroes off for pounds
  5. I do not know why you guys did not switch your address to Spanish or other EU address using proxy to keep allowance and unfrozen pension......could have been worth 60,000 quid
  6. You can get the bike taxed and insured no problem,you can buy green book market place take bike to test station,pay 620 baht,tax/ins keep receipt and show for collection next day
  7. You know,thinking about it is the hard part,just get it done,weeks time all over,all forgotten about My worry is doing the eye op at diff times,but no worry,hop on a once weekly train to Vasco de Gamma,jump off in Goa,few days there,but don't fancy another 24 hours on train returning,but still first class Its the length of time the catheter is in is the problem,it gets painful.could hardly stand it nearing end,it had to come out or morphine,offered strip,but at that point catheter removed,thank gawd Private room? ceiling staring,and bag watching as it turns from red to yellow,but I had a huge huge prostate,had viewing gallery,dozens gowned up surrounding operation.....should have sold tickets
  8. Nothing to it,2 hours away,expertise/professionalism second to none. id do a walk in straight off street,no letting them know you are international price will be upped for sure,..consultants always there,about 200/300 baht for consult,then there and then. Barrage for hours blood testing brilliance in action,whatever evil found in blood will be managed by other consultant whilst there,all in price Set at ease in instance,engage a helper,few rps a day to your beck and call As for eye,if they do it one at a time I have to consider,but anyway Im having one consult at one leading eye hospital in morning to see everything OK then other later where the speciality op is performed,sort of second opinion
  9. FYI did a search for TURP over there,surprised at pricing now,thought would be sky high,500 pounds and under for most if not all middle of the road hospitals, under 1000 for international ones,all good stuff 3 of us going over when covid restrictions end supposedly July,one for vein stripping in leg,85 pound quote,one other dry run probably leading to TURP ,I'm going for latest eye laser op,not done at Ruthin,last time I looked anyway, probably around 400 pounds with timely offers,Ruthin 000s of 0000s no doubt Google the hospital,plus the doctors reputation and comments lots have 4 to 5 stars if you so wish. Feel like your legs have been pushed out from under on day two after after leaving hospital,first day full of fizz at getting out, need resting for few days ,but its well worth it,believe me,best thing I ever did. Good luck
  10. The torment of BNP without doubt takes over your life,best thing ever TURP. However if and when Id plump for a ward,not that its cheaper,but life goes on around you,unlike a semi/private room where ceiling staring comes the norm,wear shorts,the tube from catheter to bag takes shorter route than wearing long (supplied) pjs,keep yourself regular,no straining If large prostate,that will be some cutting back,may keep you more than 3 days Rember couple of surgeons coming to me back in room straight after op stating how life must have been so uncomfortable,it was huge
  11. Head imm Jomptien Used 65k method for years,not this year or by look of it any year from now on I used WISE once, it was bank (BofA) to Bank (Bangkok Bank). This is not bank to bank
  12. Exactly, Head of imm informed no transferwise is acceptable now, only bank to bank,with confirmation from home country of pension is acceptable(his words)
  13. All accomplished two months ago,to no heed,first time to use agent. Top and bottom they want agent use,even agent stated imm change the rules virtually daily
  14. Lots of flies......will not do just showing amounts need confirmation letters of pensions coming in plus plus plus whatever extra the imm dream up to get you to use agent
  15. Problem here is you are looking for quack remedies that do not work,they cost more too than the procedure that is required, the only one, reduction of the lump the prostate. Likened to a screaming banshee,even first hand reports of your latest venture ,the Israeli one are not forthcoming,just snake oiled salesmanship Best thing I ever did TURP no more hot stinking urine,awake all night pis.sing,no pills,no after effects that's dreamed up by punters of life after it,all smooth sailing
  16. Best thing ever did TURP,asked for laser,no idea what is thrown up the backside for the op,accepted 40 minute procedure,but one and half hours it went on for,came to fine and dandy,its a gift really is,no more pi.ssing when you do not want to,and pis.sing when you want to,everything OK. Should have been done years before TURP Surgery is recommended to older men suffering from BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia). BPH is a medical condition that leads to enlargement of prostate gland. In this condition, patients are unable to empty their bladder completely, leading to frequent urinary infection and bleeding. Severe cases include; extreme slow urination, formation of stones in the bladder and kidney damage. This process takes about 1 hour. At first, some kind of spinal anesthesia is induced. In this condition, you do not feel any pain even when you are not forced to a subconscious state. Sometimes general anesthesia is also used by surgeons, depending on the mental state of their patients.
  17. "Well my urine flow did improve for a while, but retrograde ejaculation was the outcome, and just a few months ago, I found I could not pass any urine whatsoever, so I took to using a catheter on myself three times a day, before consulting the urologist at Bangkok Phuket hospital here." From your good self
  18. Permanent Implants Another option is to permanently implant strings with anchors which will compress the prostate tissue to ease the flow of urine. Most permanent implants are placed via a minimally invasive procedure through the urethra that allows relatively fast recovery time and effective relief of symptoms in some patients. However, reliance on a permanent implant in the prostate carries certain risks, such as migration to other areas of the body or becoming encrusted which can lead to bladder stones. If this happens or symptoms recur, the implants must be surgically cut out of the prostate tissue4,5. Was looking at permanent solution to problem,not one that takes 7 days and more than probably the effects last far short of 7 days, anyway awaiting results(thought they would be through by now)
