Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

@techee Aquablation should provide long-term relief similar in timeframe to turp. Decades ago my dad had turp done and a second turp some 7-8 years later. Since bph tissue generally does grow back for most men im assuming I might need this again in 7-8 years.
I’d be ok with that. By then they will probably have an even better aquablation system or something even better. ☺️

As of this morning, I am not experiencing any blood or clots.
Catheter comes out Monday morning.
Dr said prostate was medium size, but I do not know the size or weight.
Dr indicated Aqua removes 40% of tissue, Turp removes 20% of tissue.
I am to stay on Tamsulosin & finasteride until I am satisfied w/ my flow. Not sure what this means. I would like to get off both ASAP.

An update...Surgery 10/15 mid day 3.5 hrs.
No blood or clots leaving hospital. Nurses were amazed. Dr said procedure went perfectly.
Walked 3/4 mile Thursday morning, slight discoloration of urine.
Constipated Thursday, 2 tablets of Ducolax relieved that problem in the early hours of Friday morning.
Walked 3 miles Friday morning
