HoLEP Log: What did you experience pre and post-op?

I had semen coming out just thinking about sex. I didn't have to touch it
at all. This happened pretty early on after the procedure I think it was
like, 3 weeks. At one point I could actually get a teaspoon of semen out.
That's not the case now, however the organs are much better.
Like I said in my earlier post I have no regrets. I'm still amazed that I
can go to the bathroom without the extreme stress I had pre-op.

I posted an update. After my visit today with the surgeon to get the pathology results and deal with online BS with the Spanish government, I tried to post again here after I found "here," but they tell me I already posted somewhere else. It's okay, I needed raisins with the oatmeal that is now my brain.

They found a cancer tumor in the prostate gland that was morcellated. Now, it didn't show up on the MRI months prior to HoLEP. They clocked it at a Gleason score of T1a for a 0.5 mm tumor undetectable from imaging post-prostatectomy. The prognosis isn't grim, it's a PSA 4 months from today to determine if any spread to the prostate capsule. If it has, or does, then the PSA will register an antigen number. Right now, as I understand it, it should be 0.0 because there's no prostate, right? What I'm wondering is how the hell do they know where the tumor was after it was morcellated? Anyway, that's the scoop. No hopes or expectations, it is what it is, without any concrete info might as well get my mental constitution back so I can get out of the 1.5 year protracted shock and start life anew.

I suspected something was there, I was surprised it was that small.

Keep well.
