teddog Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Prostate packed up completly recently,hardy any flow,the lobes had crushed the pipe,should have done something years ago instead of kicking the can down the road,hoping for a miracle cure there 'aint none Took 2.8 thousand promo flight to India,one of three hospitals I aimed for,first one had to do. Entered at 4pm paid 3thousand baht registration fee,allotted private room,superb,ac ultra modern, and advised 6.30 am slated operation time. Until the early hours was utterly hammered by testing,blood blood blood,xrays,BP more BP even more BP ecgs ,heart echo,ultra soundings,whatever test could be done was done,over about 2am after body shaving. Advised problem with size,but op set aside for six hours, Given spinal but theatre was packed with surgeons/doctors at least 35 of them ,to witness (to them) the biggest prostate ever presented and operated on,was around 160 grammes. Over 80% cut away using laser(Holep) Initially paid for three day packge all inclusive @ around 35 thousand baht but advised 3 days was going up to 5 days as would be fair amount of bleeding,sent the bill up another 3 thousand baht,but again all inclusive. God I suffered during irrigation,wanted morphine to kill the pain but refused excepting morphine patches,After two and half days bleeding finished ,the pipe up the pipe withdrawn. The relief was instant,come out that fast now like a fire hose. If I had gone to a none holep use hospital but usingTURP bill would have been in lower 30s baht,do not think any difference hot blade versus hot light in my case ,was always going for a good bleed Superb treatment,those Indian docs are razor sharp..........vitamin deficiency picked up..Gilberts too... likewise thyroid was down a bit. All in all a superb result,so easy ,I was dumb not to get this earlier, Big HHernia seen am returnig at estimated cost of 10 thousand repair soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have had TURP 4 times in CM at the Ram Cold steel. Last time I asked my GP I was told there was no Laser TURP in CM and probably all of Thailand. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 So do a number of hospitals in Bangkok. And I would be surprised if not also available at CMU Hospital. Always take a "not available in Thailand" response with a grain of salt, whether it is from a salesperson in a store or a doctor. It often just means the speaker does not know where it is available (or in some cases, even what it is). Also best not to ask a GP details about anything specialized. In CM, best urologist is Prof. Bannakij Lojanapiwat. Can be seen at Sripat , Ram and also has his own clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddog Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) This is what I posted earlier,if you want specifics PM me with email and Ill provide details. In short was not putting up with pricing regime or trawling the country for just 2 recommended doctors specialising in this type of surgery. India is bursting with this talent,anyway try it,you most def will not be disappointed Look at The Ruby Hospital, Cacutta, its on the web,call them get a feel to the place,Turp hospital tho,but others around it using Holep Edited April 12, 2017 by teddog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Prostate cancer drug based on sea-bed bacteria brings complete remission for half of patients... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/12/19/prostate-cancer-drug-based-sea-bed-bacteria-brings-complete/ I had read about this before and wondered when more information might become available, then I met an acquaintance yesterday who told me that he was shortly off to Spain to have this very operation performed! I didn't think it was available yet, but apparently it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
