Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations
Men's Health | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (192)Comment receiving replies
I had the Aquablation procedure two weeks ago. I had a median lobe and a size of 90 cc before the procedure. Everything went well although I almost fainted when the nurse removed the catheter on the third day after the procedure. The flow is excellent and no blood after the fourth day. My problem is UTI. I got it again. I would like to go back to the gym soon. Just work the upper body with 50% of the weight I used before. I'd love to use the recliner bike at the gym for exercise. It concerns me that people have problems resuming biking. Love to hear anyone's comments.

The catheter removal is no joke - awful to have for 5 days and awful to remove. My nurse said "wow, they used a large one like the size of a garden hose". Lucky me. Recommend waiting for about 6 weeks prior to biking. I waited 6 weeks and began spin and caused bleeding and was told by surgeon to stop. Its been three months since surgery and am toying with the idea of testing spin out. It seems recovery takes longer than what is offered up by the docs. Or perhaps they don't understand the level of intensity that some pursue in their exercise routines.
