Odd to me. The paclitaxel keeps the split lobes of tge prostate from growing back together. My urine was clear of blood and clots completely at week four and I considered myself healed at week six. I do know that the factory rep must accompany the durgwon oh the first ten procedures the dr performs... Maybe the placement of tge balloon catheter was not quite correct or moved at time of inflation wit about 90fr or 1 1/4 inch. If it's not placed a secured while inflating it could cause a tear in tge bladder neck.. I'd be surprised if you've not had a systoscopy by now to find out what happened.

how large was your prostate prior to getting your Optilume procedure. Ive had a rezum 6 years ago and my prostate has grown back. My concern is that my prostate keeps growing and since this procedure does not decrease the size of the prostate, that continued growth would reduce the results.
