Thanks for your response tgregg99! I wish you all the best. I'm probably repeating myself here, but...again, I want to offer caution, based on my experience with BPH: If you have to undergo any surgery that requires anesthesia, beware. BPH was manageable, especially with the meds, until I had any anesthesia. Anesthesia always caused my prostate to shut down completely; several times I needed a catheter for a while after anesthesia. In my most recent case, even though the hernia surgeon and my (former) urologist thought the relatively local anesthesia wouldn't cause a problem, prostate surgery was my only alternative to get rid of the catheter. I was catheterized from the day after the first hernia surgery (2/14/24) until 2 1/2 weeks after aquablation (on 4/29/24), and a week after 2nd hernia surgery (on 5/9/24)...until 5/16/24. That was per the aquablation urologist's recommendation to let the hernia surgery heal somewhat to make sure I'd be able to urinate on my own. Again, best of luck to you!
