I have been diagnosed with bph. in 2004 i had a tuna. in 2010 i had a laser turp. the condition has returned. what else can i do to fix my bph?

BPH treatment: Both of the treatments you describe can inadequately address the problem in very large prostates by failing to remove enough prostatic tissue. For very large prostate glands, transurethral resection of the prostate or even an open suprapubic prostatectomy is often required to fully address the problem. You may want to consider seeking out a urologist experienced in these surgical techniques.
