I want to give an update concerning what I learned (or didn’t learn) about iTind at my public hospital. When I enquired about it with my urologist he didn’t understand and had me spell the word. That still didn’t ring a bell with him so I said it is a procedure whereby they insert basically a stent then remove it after a week. The word stent did it for him and he told me that the hospital didn’t offer that procedure and that it was used mostly for people that, for whatever reason, couldn’t have surgery. He then offered to refer me to the doctor that does Rezum.
The fact that he wasn’t very familiar with iTind made me lose some confidence in this urologist who has otherwise been as good or better than my experience with my urologist at a private hospital.
At this point I can still live with my symptoms so I don’t think I will be making a move in the near future.
