I had Prostiva RF treatment, which I believe is a radio-frequency treatment that is generally similar to microwave treatments. The procedure was 2+ months ago. I had short-term side effects of urinary retention and had to make three trips to the emergency room, plus one overnight stay. It is also quite painful. Those side effects went away after an overnight stay with continuing flushing of the bladder. I had blood in my urine for a few more days. However, my problems with urinary urgency and leakage have not gone away. These are what got me into the procedure in the first place. I have no idea whether the original problem or the after-effects of the surgey are related to my Parkinson's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerrald Lynch </HTML>" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 11:57 AM Subject: transurethral microwave treatment > Hello, I am wondering if any parkinson patient has ever had the > transurethral microwave treatment, and if it caused any side effects, short or > long > term? > Thanks, </HTML> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
