At 5 weeks, frequency going to pee remains the same at night and day. Urine flow is also still weak. Dr has asked me to continue to take flowmax. The only improvement i have is that I do not have to wait to start to pee, it starts right away, but weak stream. Dr has asked me to wait till after 8 weeks before improvements. I will post updates here.

@pinto25ji - I think your experiences post aquablation are not so unusual based on that I experienced and what I read. First of all - five weeks post is still a very short time in terms of medical recovery. I had my aquablation 6+ months ago and I believe I am still "adjusting" plus I still experience small changes (mostly positive changes) even now.

I still get out of bed (three times or so?) more than I wished and, I believe, more than I actually need to. I think the nighttime "need to pee" sensation is a leftover artifact of all those years of actually needing to get up numerous times. I know I can go eight hours (or more) without urination as I do so during the day, regularly. So I suspect I will need to put some effort into retraining the "urge to pee" portion of my brain.

Best wishes for a continued positive recovery.
