Thought I'd update everyone about my doctor's appointment today, which I requested due to blood in the urine (hematuria) about 3 x each year - one day duration per occurrence - since my 2021 aquablation.

He had no explanation for it or offered no possible causes which to me suggests his limited access to post-op patient experiences. Or maybe my hematuria is actually rare.

To address the issue, he scheduled a cystoscopy in February. As to why not an MRI w/c he recommended 2 years ago, he said an MRI won't reveal polyps inside the prostate gland which a cystoscopy can. So, I'll know for sure in Feb if there's something serious like cancer going on.

I told him about the video "connect4321" posted, particularly the discovery of urolift implanted pins during the aquablation procedure. He said that about 10 years ago, urolift was all the rage and it was used for all sizes of prostate glands (now known to be effective only for small ones). Implication is that urologists didn't know any better then and were predisposed to trying the latest treatments.
