Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

@vtredwolf I'm a little hesitant about PAE, although I know someone who only had PAE, no Aquablation, and it went all right. My urologist had concerns about possible negative outcomes with PAE, so he basically steered me away from that.

@mkaften yeah, like I said I am not advocating for the pae procedure. There are some risks and I think it is really only effective for smaller prostates. Also it takes a while to take effect one or two months, and I don't think it's particularly long-lasting. My chief complaint was that the inflammation caused my prostate to enlarge further and my symptoms got worse for a little while. The recovery nurse told me it's going to get worse before it gets better which should have given me some caution. But I was having aquablation 5 days later so I wasn't particularly concerned.
