I'm 15 months post aquablation. I have not yet returned to normal, I feel as if the procedure was a mistake, and in general made me feel worse. I can't pee in a normal standing position, and have to sit. I need to use depends. There is still burning in the first ten seconds or so when the amount of urine is greater. Still waking up once or twice per night. At least.
Urologist insisted on doing a cystoscopy a few months ago, which was very painful.
I wanted it done under anesthesia, but he refused. I was given a bit of numbing gel, which accomplished nothing.
The aquablation, which the urologist insisted would make me a new man. seems to have done damage to my urethra.
So the procedure did make me a new man, doc just forgot to warn me that a new man doesn't have mean improved. It could also mean new, but worse.
Repeated UTIs made things worse.
I have changed urologists.
