Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

I had a TURP about 10 years ago. Perhaps 5ish years ago, I developed hematuria. My original surgeon wanted to repeat the TURP. The second opinion urologist, who was previously my urologist until a 4 hour wait caused me to change, suggested finesteride for the hematuria. Due to the potential side effects, I asked him to consider an every other day dose which he permitted. No longer a problem until this year, a bladder stone and horribly enlarged prostate (it grew back with a vengence) gave cause for the aquablation I had in August. So far so good and I'm off finesteride as as well as off tamsulosulin. As they say on tv: ask your doctor. Good luck!
