Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Had my aquablation on February 4, 2025. My prostate was about 60 g, I'm 68, in good health and weight, and had been dealing with BPH with meds (terazosin) since my early 50s. The procedure went very well. I came home the same day; had a catheter for 3 days (which sucked, but was tolerable). Catheter removal was a small trauma, but quick. I passed the bladder emptying test and they sent me home. I had some bleeding for about 3 weeks but it didn't cause any additional pain. Peeing was a little uncomfortable, but it got less so after about 6 weeks. It took me about 8 weeks to feel comfortable sitting on hard surfaces. Right now everything feels just about normal. My semen volume is about .5 to .75 of what it was before the procedure. But everything else works without any changes. I'm relieved now to not have to deal with the dribble, sitting on the toilet to pee, and timing my day around peeing. I can drink as much fluid as I want without worry, and I only get up to go once per night on average now. I love being able to pee like I did in my 40s . . . I had my procedure done in Roseville, CA at Sutter Health Urology. Happy to respond to any questions you may have about the aquablation.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if your prostate had a median lobe?
