Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations
Men's Health | Last Active: 21 hours ago | Replies (156)Comment receiving replies
I got aquablation on jan8, 2025. It certainly not like the smiley people on the brochure.
Had a median lobe, thicker bladder wall, and size was 103. Urologist said procedure went really well.
Went for a 7km walk two days after surgery. Nurse said that over did it. Catheter was 6”’off went I went back complaining I could not drain a clog 11 days later. Urologist put it back in and flushed things and said it can remain off.
Now in third week post-op and 8 days post catheter removal.
Frequent urge to urinate,
Low volume and flow
Pain after urination that last for a minute and goes away
Need to wear a diaper because of incontinence
On physio to retrain things down there.
Life is on standby
Have you recovered to the point you are satisfied?

Have faith and try and calm down. You can work your body and its healing system into a frenzy that I think can affect recovery. Things take a while to straighten out after the procedure. I’m 8 months out and frankly don’t think about it anymore. Everything works. Not like it did 50 years ago but that was 50 years ago. At 71 I couldn’t be happier. My thickened bladder walls finally have some relief and have agreed to continue working. At least for the present. Hang in there.
