I am now about 5 or 5and a half months post aquablation.
As a 74 years old, I was not having a big problem with urination, but the doctor warned me that my prostate was huge and action was necessary.
I was miserable with the results until just very recently.
I had to wear depends, urination was too frequent, and urgency cropped up frequently.
I couldn't urinate standing, because the flow sometimes became a spray (messy ). So I sat. There was some burning prior to the flow getting started, which sometimes didn't get going real well.
Some nights I had to urinate 4 or 5 times.
In other words, procedure made me worse, not better.
The first time I reached out to my urologist, a few months ago, he told me to be patient, that things would settle down.
That became somewhat true, but only very recently. I have stopped with the depends, but I make sure to always be close to a toilet, or to be sure to empty my bladder before leaving the house. If careful, I can stand up to pee.
The amount of time I can wait between toilet visits varies from just under an hour to more than 2 hours. I make sure to not take chances, and urinate at even a small urge.
I any case, last time I saw the Urologist, he claims I had signs of a UTI, (some mucous noticeable in urine) so I am taking Cipro. Some relief, so I refilled and will try another dose.
I am definitely more comfortable without Depends, and the burning/discomfort has reduced somewhat. Without the depends I do get some seepage, which I usually don't notice until I feel a little dampness in under wear or pajamas.
Sex has been non existent. Surely the fact that my wife was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer 3 months ago has not helped with intimacy. The most we manage in that part of life is to show affection, like gentle cuddling or hand holding.
To summarize, I was very unhappy with the whole thing until very recently when I noticed a flicker of light at the end of the runnel.
If I'm not measurably better in 3 months the doctor has threatened me with a cystoscopy. I had that procedure once years back and dread it. I cant understand why patients are not sedated when they do that.
Best of luck to you. Be a patient patient, and surely things will settle down, albeit a lot slower than you were told,
