For those of us with 100cc or more prostate before Tulsa and where they take out 75% or so, we do feel something, plus the up to two weeks we get a catheter. It isn't a lot of issue at all, more a pressure feel. One doesn't feel it walking, or lying down at all. Sitting at certain angles and you feel it, even a good bit. Sitting in a car is no issue, sitting for computer work is where you feel it. I had to change the way I used laptops and so on, not a big issue and it goes away. One month of feeling that, then occasional for up to another two months is probable. I would not call it a pain needing medication even, just it isn't 100% nothing for those getting lots of ablation, just in case others reading in with bigger prostate or lots of ablation.

I had a 100 cc prostate and had approximately 60cc ablated via TULSA-PRO procedure. My experience is similar to yours. I am two months into recovery from the procedure. However I do feel discomfort on the right side of my pelvic floor when I start walking. But as you say it's not anything I cannot tolerate. I'm not the 100 percent yet that I still hope to be. I will say that my urine stream has become much stronger. I'll have my first PSA test in another month. I also wonder if I'm unconsciously creating muscle stress when I'm sitting at my computer. I try to relax that area of my body when I think about it.
