Does everyone get pro stap?

Hi

Just a quick one.. does everyone get offered Prostap injections or is it a certain criteria that it’s recommended for?

I’m just thinking ahead as my op is on weds and I’m getting paranoid about how many needles.

Xx

I think it goes through stages of helping with pain so pill first pain meds then other avenues on same level then moving up and up depending on circumstances I could be wrong but I think that's how it works xx

I had prostap 3 months before my op to shut things down ready for my op. Not sure why you would need it afterwards.

I personally wouldn't recommend it from my experience as the side effects were awful and lasted 7 months in total.

If you haven't been offered it you don't need it. Depending on what you op is for! I had a full hysterectomy.

Good luck with your op 👍
