Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Update from my procedure 5 days ago. Cath removed yesterday without issue. Uncomfortable couple of seconds, but within an hour voiding went well with the exception of the burning which occurs toward the end. Next 24 hours relatively clear with small amounts of blood and tissue, which seems to be getting better each time. Some blood leaking throughout the day. Just now starting to get enough notice of when to head for the bathroom before making a mess.

Frequency varies from 20 minutes to two hours throughout the day. Hope that gets better soon.

The first void after the cath removal was mind blowing, I don’t think I’ve ever had that fierce of a stream my entire life. It has reduced down quite a bit, though. Starts immediately and seems to end quickly.

So far so good. Still very early in healing process.

@dfwcraig Who did the operation and at which hospital?

@dfwcraig thank you for your story. I too had very powerful voids the day of my catheter removal. A 24 ml/s qmax! Now at three months im averaging a good stream of 18 mls qmax.
