Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Further update. Visited aqua surgeon yesterday 8/21 to discuss and scoped to determine why I have significant bleeding after running and also episodic discharge of material when urinating. Prior to visit I had a CT scan of the area. The results of the scan showed calcification of prostate. The scope showed a "garden of stones" which seems to be the culprit in terms of bleeding and discharge following a run. These stones are a result of the healing and is the first time my surgeon has encountered this after aqua. So what to do; three options presented; 1. Do nothing and deal with bleeding and discharge of material haphazardly; 2. Laser the stones which may require a catheter for a short period (the worst part for me); 3. laser the stones and the prostate which should provide more of a guarantee to stop the bleeding. Option 3 will require a longer recovery time. I have a decision to make. Has anyone else experienced this calcification/stones issue?

@aapisani5 - Once more into the breach. Had a cystoscopy done on 10/9 following AE and Aqua. The AE of about a year ago did not solve my BPH issues and followed that with an Aqua procedure about 9 months ago; which did remedy many of the typical issues - urgency, flow, etc. However, a new problem was introduced in the healing process where stones (prostate and bladder) were formed and were causing a good amount bleeding and calcified particle discharge while urinating. This bleeding usually followed a vigorous exercise such as running. Now five days post procedure (without a catheter!!) and seem to be healing well. Cannot return to vigorous exercise for 2-4 weeks which I pray will show no bleeding. Age 67, good health, and hope to be back to running. Will continue to post.
