BPH Prostate surgery. Turp, HoLEP, REZUM etc

So I need to have my prostate opened up.
But which procedure?
Anyone care to share their opinions please.

Thanks for taking the time to reply in such detail.
I only know two people who have had this done and the one who had the TURP had a much longer recovery than the one who had the laser.
But he did have prostate cancer.
I get what you are saying about the "new" procedure's.
I have the offer of either but with a longer wait for laser.
They can't give me any timescale as yet other than months!

For those that have had any procedure, has it reduced the frequency of emptying the bladder?
For example, too many cups of tea in the morning or too many pints in the evening causes me an hour or so of VERY frequent toilet visits. One symptom I’d like to be rid of.

Have you been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate?
If not you need to see a doctor to find the cause of your symptoms,
An enlarged prostate tends to effect you all the time.

I understand the chances of not being as before and I do have a diverticular bladder thanks to not being diagnosed earlier. This will not go away.
