I had Aquablation surgery a little over 3 months ago and I am currently experiencing retrograde ejaculation. I had my last post operation visit today and asked the doctor about my RE and she told me that the ejaculation ducts was removed in order to remove prostate tissue and that I fell into the 10% that get RE. The main reason I got the procedure because the material I read, stated that your ejaculation ducts was and observes for sexual function was supposed to be preserved. I do believe the 10% rate of this occurring is being misrepresented and the real number is much higher. My prostate size was 80 and this is not considered very large so I thought my chance of getting REWas very low. Anyone considering Aquablation think this out carefully before going forward because RE is a terrible side effect if you get it post surgery

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think even with aquablation surgeon trainging and experience are critical factors. Also, not sure which “version” of AB was used but the newer Hydros system is supposed to be even safer and more effective. Hoping you are noticing benefits of AB. The 3-4 month period is when better flow and volume are kicking in with less retention.
