I worked medical devices a lot of my life, and on experimental ones in medical research (never in urology), but taking the probe out and in, is unlikely to have anything to do with an ablative process that is done with an ultrasound beam. The beam is the process. The taking in and out is a mechanical unfortunate event, but unlikely to to have contributed to much of any issues, maybe small or something that quickly healed. Some small tissue scrapping or who knows but probably not a real lot of issue, this is fast regrow tissue so that would be gone now.

I had a ton ablated but it is a ton of tissue in there that will take 6 months to reabsorb. You have a bunch of tissue that takes time to absorb. 6 months come back and ask some of these questions, you will likely be fine till then. I was about the same as you at this stage, so I think no concerns. I wanted off alpha blockers and did get off at two months since I don't like them, but to be honest I could have taken them much longer.

Now the thing is if BPH was active and prostate enlarging prior - that is still in place. I am finding that out. My MRI shows no concerns for cancer but my BPH is still active. So I am changing my diet and stuff to arrest the BPH in its tracks, but you will have to find out if that plays into it at all because it can slow down things again if one doesn't get ahead of it.

Would you please share what you're doing regarding diet and arresting BPH in it tracks? I expect I may need to investigate this approach. Thank you.
