Yes. The rate of retrograde ejaculation is about 30% within the first 3 months post-PVP. This is usually temporary. The muscle fibers around the bladder neck can be preserved by the KTP laser used in PVP and thus avoid retrograde ejaculation. See PVP presentation.

The "tissue-friendly" KTP laser used in Greenlight PVP causes minimal tissue reaction surrounding the cavity - making impotence very unlikely. See similar questions...

Thousands of patients have been successfully treated with the GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure in the US, Europe, and Far East. See similar questions...

The GreenLight PV Laser System is a patented green light laser that provides the energy to perform the PVP procedure. A thin fiber is inserted into the urethra through a cystoscope, an instrument that allows the doctor to examine the bladder and prostate. The fiber delivers green laser energy that quickly vaporizes and precisely removes enlarged prostate tissue. Dr. Shaw is able to safely view and control the treatment area, tailoring it to your individual anatomy and needs. See similar questions...

The PVP procedure is generally considered to be very safe. Most patients report a very high level of satisfaction. Patients may experience slight burning during urination and/or a little bit of blood in the urine for a couple of weeks. Some men may experience more severe symptoms, which can be easily treated by Dr. Shaw. Retrograde ejaculation, or "dry climax" following treatment may occur. See similar questions...

Retrograde ejaculation is fairly uncommon and is typically associated with a neurologic disorder or previous abdominal surgery. It is not something that can be prevented, but it can be treated. Treatment is based on the specific underlying problem. The chances of a vasectomy failing are dependent upon whether or not the man has undergone an adequate test to show that he truly is sterile. Once he has been confirmed to be sterile, the chances of failure are approximately 1 in 4,500. See similar questions...

Patients with bladder atony or neurogenic bladder (especially in diabetes mellitus) may not respond to the procedure. See similar questions...

No, since obstructive adenomatous prostate is removed, the incidence of retrograde ejaculation is similar. See similar questions...

GreenLight PVP is performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center. Patients may be released after a few hours or after an overnight stay. See similar questions...

The condition is often caused by an anxiety to perform adequately. The causes may include a man's earlier masturbation methods, which might have been done quickly and secretively thinking sex as something underhand and hence the need to orgasm as quickly as possible. Early sexual experiences in which speed was normal trains you into this reflex habit. It may be more instinctive but it is not as effective as slower and more methodical repeat performances.

Oftentimes patients with prostate cancer develop urinary retention following radiation therapy (external beam or see implants). If medical treatment fails to relieve symptoms, Greenlight PVP is an excellent choice. The bladder neck may also contract following radical prostatectomy in which cases Greenlight PVP can relieve the blockage easily. See similar questions...

In my experience, prostate glands less than 200g can be handled in a single stage. Multi-staged procedures may be required for larger prostate glands. Prostate glands larger than 100g should be handled by a surgeon well-experienced in Greenlight PVP. See similar questions...

Above level 30: You can attack everyone outside safe zones (Towns). If you should kill someone you get red. For each consecutive kill the time you stay red gets longer. Being red dimishes over time. If you are red you can get freely killed by everyone (without them getting red!) and you are able to drop items on death (not just from your backback!). There are also Guild vs Guild Wars.

It is not unusual for the male to experience some burning (dysuria) during urination following ejaculation. This is the result of friction developed along the urethra (the lining of the penis) during the act of sexual intercourse or masturbation. Urine moving along the urethra creates a burning sensation. It should not be considered a sign of any active disease or indicative of injury to the penis but rather a natural event. See similar questions...
