Yes. My urine flow has regressed in the past month (had the procedure on 12/24. Also have bleeding in my urine when I exercise hard (running primarily). The recovery has not gone as quickly and smooth as I was led to believe. Have an appt. with surgeon on the 27th of this month. Will post what I learn.

Follow up - met with surgeon on Thursday and after discussing my set back and a quick visual inspection it was determined that I either had kidney stones or calcified prostate flesh blocking my urination and reducing flow and causing severe pain. So the doc went forward with an instrument and removed this blockage which was sizeable and in several bits. This was done without anesthesia as there was concern that applying anesthesia could push the blockage further back. This was not a pleasant experience to say the least. The good news is that my flow is back to very good and there is no pain. This is a journey for sure. My next test is to continue to work out and hope that there is no bleeding. It was suggested that this material that was removed may have caused the bleeding experienced after intense workouts - can only hope.
