21 days post-surgery. No blood in urine for last six days. Still a little pain at beginning of urination, which I hope will resolve soon. Peeing about every two hours (same at night). Now walking 1.5 miles 2x/day. Going to start doing kegels. Welcome comments. Posting my experience for the benefit of anyone who may be considering this surgery.
@alexdav Sounds like you are doing great! I am 19 days since surgery. Currently no blood and little to no leakage. Stream is strong. Have started walking 1/2 mile; it sounds like I should be more aggressive. Prior to surgery I walked 3 to 4 miles a day and did strength training 3 times/week. My Dr said to hold off on strength training until week 4.
I still have moderate pain at the beginning of urination. And I am peeing every two to three hours at night (and during the day), despite stopping fluid intake around 8PM. I'm drinking 100oz of water per day. This suggests to me that I still have inflammation. My home uti test was negative and I don't have fever. Overall, I will feel much better about things once these issues resolve. Having said that, feeling pretty optimistic that i am going to have a great outcome.
@jackflash I hit 4 weeks in 2 days, can't say anything negative at this point...no blood at all in urine...I start stream in 1-2 seconds vs minute or more prior and empty completely...have little pain only if I dont empty and wait till I am really full but resumed sex(all good had retrograde first time, 2nd time had small discharge) and no pain/blood so feels same to me minus the retrograde which frankly my partner loves LOL...still not lifting but walking 5 miles and thats only time I get a few drops leaking in 1st mile..otherwise dry all day and night so expect that will resolve itself in time...have to keep reminding myself its only 4 weeks and they removed 70% so gonna take time but would say 90% there and hate to hear about others having issues but for me personally haven't encountered anything bad at all knock wood...
28 days post-surgery. Good stream, empty fully, no blood. Still a little pain when I begin urination. Still urinating frequently, and every 2 to 3 hours at night. Now walking several miles/day and have mowed the lawn (push mower) 2x. Did some pullups today; about half the sets/reps I normally do but was a huge win psychologically.
So, the last milestones are the moderate pain at beginning of urination and the frequency.
