Aquablation Recovery Saga!

I am 57 years old. Prostate size 65cc. Had Aquablation on Nov. 4th, 2025. Spent a night in hospital and catheter for 7 days.

My recovery has been a real roller coaster. I have been to the ER 4 times and 1 time to urgent care.

I am still having pain and burning at 7 weeks. Frequency have been crazy with some good days (every 2 or 3 hours) to many trips to the bathroom. Urgency have been constant. I struggle to not urinate before reaching the bathroom. Stream has been good and relatively strong. I ejaculated at 4.5 weeks. Had pain on my stomach that felt like a strained muscle. Ejaculations (2 more times) have been more voluminous than prior to surgery. I wake up once or twice per night.

My complain? Is the lack of tangible recovery. There are days that felt like my bladder and prostate were irritated or swollen. I have pain on my penis even with movement. I am afraid that prostatitis is the issue. The pain when urinating goes from bothersome to UTI like. Bladder spams are notable when the urgency appears. I have to literally run to the bathroom. I do not have incontinence issues. Urinating with pain and burning are together with the urgency to poop. My bowel movements have not been normal since the procedure. All of these have taken an emotional toll. I want to see progress in order to start living a relatively normal life. I am anxious and depressed. I hope this is temporary.

I am calling the Urologist to rescheduled my appointment to an earlier date. I want reassurance that all of these symptoms are part of the journey to recovery.

That's my story. There are more details, but it would take a lot of writing.
