Thank you so much Phil. I also very much trust Mayo Jax as they successfully transplanted me. I spent the last few hours researching & watching videos on the aquablation procedure and it does seem like the most effective treatment with high rate of success and saving ejaculatory function which is important to me. Tamsolosin has never worked for my symptoms but resulted in RE. The addition of cialis has resolved the RE somewhat, but the urinary problems persist. As a transplant patient, my medication options are limited. Prior to transplant I found alfuzosin was the most effective treatment without the RE side effects, but they won’t give it to me now as it interacts with my immunosuppressant drugs.
I have an appointment tomorrow for follow-up and will ask more questions. Last time I discussed this with my team in 2023 they recommended TURP, but my grandfather had that procedure multiple times and still had many problems, so I don’t want to go there.
Would you mind sharing the name of your surgeon?
I still need to understand the difference between ablation & enucleation with the holep. It seems like it’s the same thing - a removal of prostate tissue. Thanks for your willingness to share information. I too want to get off the drugs.
