It would be nice to hear some positive good news stories. I had Green Laser PVP over 2 years ago. Seemed to work for 1 year. I am scheduled for Aquablation operation at end of January. Any real success stories ? I only see a minimal few here in the forum.

@stevedc1 I wrote detailed post about my husband(I’m a nurse) from the day of surgery till now. He is 16 months out and had a great surgeon, followed by a smooth recovery. If u can’t find the post, I can answer questions about his recovery.

@stevedc1 I was completely asymptomatic until I couldn't pee at all. Prostate was 120 grams. I spent 4 months on a catheter in the summer of 2024. Tamolosin and Finesteride both cratered my blood pressure and caused a severe case of flushing. Happy to say I had Aquablation last September. Bleeding took about 10 days to completely recede. From the first moment I was peeing like a racehorse and continue to do so. No sexual side effects. I had a great surgeon, and the surgeon does matter. I'm 66 and in good shape. If my prostate should regrow and cause problems down the road, I wouldn't hesitate to have another aquablation.
