I also had a laser (green light) for BPH and developed a stricture which required another surgery. Instead of optilume my surgeon used the green light laser again. My initial recovery (first few weeks felt the same for both), but after repair of the structure within a few months I was much improved without frequency or urgency. I did have some occasional small bits of scab come out, but very little bleeding. It sounds like you are still (slowly) healing from the optilume. If your urologist feels your symptoms are just part of the recovery process, it may just take some time for them to get better. It never hurts to get a second opinion at a regional or national center like Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic if you are not happy with your progress and think something might be wrong.
