Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations
Men's Health | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (358)Comment receiving replies
I am 76 and had aquablation 4 weeks ago. One night in hospital, catheter in place on release. Doc said i could remove it myself next day that it would “almost fall out“. No! I had to pull it out……….. quite painful but over quickly. That thing was long! Steady improvement, less blood, etc. but after my first, and so far only, ejaculation my urgency has returned and my stream is more of a spray. Messy! Pads a daily need. Appointment with urologist next week to discuss.” Nov. 2025

Did you aspirate the baloon with a syringe before you pull the catheter out or you cut the baloon arm?
If you pull the air with the syringe balloon does not go to its original shape. Since it is stretched, if you pull all the air out it makes sharp edges. That might put cuts to your urethra all the way out. Urine spray makes me think of that.
Same thing happened to me. An untrained orderly pulled my catheter out after deflating the balloon with a syringe, I had fresh bleeding and spray urine several days. Now on second month, flow keeps decreasing probably as a result of scar tissue formation and scar shrinking. It does not matter how good the Pilot is if he has one bad mechanic result is disaster! I wish us best luck. We need a Real Doctor taking care of his patients.
