Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Hi all, I have been dealing with BPH for 10 years now and my prostate is around 80 grams and has been squeezing my urethra hard enough for me to use catheter to empty my bladder for the past 4 years! I have avoided TURP and other procedures but when I found out about aquablation, I became hopeful. Reading your posts have definitely given me a better perspective whether I do the procedure or not. My Dr. wants to do a biopsy to rule out cancer and view the inside of my bladder to map out how to avoid the ejaculation tube and the bladder mouth (map out the procedure). Has anyone gone through the same steps before your surgery? Also, any one with Reverse Ejaculation issues as well as Erectile dysfunction symptoms? If so, any reversals?

Can you help me understand why several men seem to prefer dealing with the discomfort and invconvenience of a catheter over just getting treated, with TURP or other options? Why not just get treated?

Please read my post I did for my husband, Sharing post op experience. Pre op he had a cystoscopy in the office and an MRI, to look at size, positioning , median lobe etc. The results are amazing, now at 6 week post op point, not 1 issue at all, he just wishes he would have done it sooner.
