60yo, 214 lbs, 16% body fat and in gym 6 days or about 14 hours per week.

Today is May 24, 2024. I had aqua ablation on Monday, May 13. Less than two weeks from surgery of removing about 2/3 of my prostate. All was tested and negative for the Big Casino. Spent one night in hospital where they used over 18 liters to maintain a continuous flush of my bladder while in hospital. Release on Tuesday with a, what I was told was a 3-way catheter. All was going as expected with bloody urine and blood clots. Thursday, May 16, the catheter was removed. They backfilled my bladder and I was able to urinate with no issues other than some burning. Was sent home.
At midnight that same day, I got up and tried to urinate. Nothing would come out. I tried for about 3 hours and I was now having contraction lasting 1 1/2 minutes coming every 3 minutes. I was unable to stand up to walk to cart, so we called an ambulance to transport me. Once at the hospital I went in the restroom try to go. Now my pain level is at a 9 or 10 and I’m screaming out in pain during the contraction. God bless the nurse, who demanded me to get to my room so she can help me. Unable to lay down, she used a syringe of lidocaine into my urethra. She said I must lay down to insert the foley. Once that was accomplished, over 40 ounces of blood and urine filled the bag. She started an IV and gave me some morphine.

On May 22, I had that foley removed and was again able to urinate. I was told I will see blood for a minimum of 2 weeks, but could be up to 2 months. However, I asked my doctor when I could resume sexual activity and he told me 1 week. He said when I do, I will still have orgasms, but will not ejaculate because the semen goes into the bladder. Wife isn’t ready for Mr Wiggly, because of what I’ve been through and is afraid I’m can hurt myself.
