I was completely asymptomatic until I lost the ability to pee. On a catheter for 4 months...two infections....including one with Seratia. Flowax and Finesteride cratered my blood pressure. I had my surgery last September and was 120 grams. Glad to report I'm still peeing like a racehorse with no sexual side effects. Just had my annual physical and my doctor could feel my prostate is enlarged. Not a surprise as my surgeon told me Aquablation removes about 50%. That would put me around 60 grams...bigger than normal. If this happens again down the road I would do another aquablation.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Great to hear that one year out you are very happy with your aquablation. Especially given the size of your prostate. Should help encourage many out there. Just curious, do you happen to know your post void retention amounts prior to the procedure and now?
