Around the age of 35, a man’s prostate begins to enlarge. After 15 to 20 years, many people notice the first symptoms, like Karl W. The 66-year-old could not empty his bladder sufficiently and had to get up up to six times during the night to go to the toilet. For years, a good night’s sleep was impossible. The quality of life dropped dramatically.
When the urine backlog in the kidneys increased to seven liters, Karl W. had to pull the emergency brake, so to speak, and go to a doctor. A urinary catheter was placed as an “interim solution”. “I was actually very happy with it,” the former elevator mechanic remembers. The fact that he had to live with the catheter for six months obviously limited him considerably. He had an unpleasant time until he was finally able to undergo surgery – using a new, gentle method.
