By now I hope you've had sex countless times to great satisfaction for you and your partner.
My Aquablation was Jan 22. In hospital overnight with Foley and irrigation, Not a lot of pain and some soft erections. Upon removal of Foley next afternoon was able to void enough to be sent home. Urine was a dark burgundy color and I retained 284 ml of urine. Color seemed too dark and retention amount too high but first year resident okayed me to leave - and who wants to stay in the hospital. Foley removal was crazy painful, but not much pain other than that. Problems began at home: urination sometimes great other times a few drops. Always felt like I had to urinate except when laying down. A week later blood visibility is almost gone and am urinating in a more consistent fashion. Still feel like I have not gotten all the urine out. My greatest concern was the quality of my orgasms after surgery, that said, I masturbated and found it extremely difficult to orgasm. There was little sensation getting to orgasm and very little sensation during orgasm. Of all these post-op symptoms, I was informed by my surgeon of the blood in the urine and the one night stay in the hospital. I had also reviewed ProCept's website where none of these issues where addressed. I am seriously hoping that time changes these current outcomes. And no, my doctor never mentioned anything about when to have sex after the operation, but wanted to see me back in 3 months. Oh, no ejaculate upon climax which is no issue to me, but sensation is. There may not be a lot of point to sex of any kind without strong sensations. Maybe, I'm being selfish after all I have a much younger wife and I do not think the "I don't feel anything: excuse is going to comfort her. And I selected this procedure with great confidence that of all things my orgasms would not change which my surgeon confirmed in a face to face Q&A session. I will see how this works out, but I am strongly seeing a pattern in these comments of misrepresentation by ProCept BioRobotics and our surgeons. How do you all feel about how your expectations were set? Do you have any suggestions that might return feelings to my future orgasms?
