@albiet I had my aquablation in September of 2024. I was completely asymptomatic until I couldn't pee...and lived on a catheter for 4 months while figuring out options. I think what you will find reading these entries is that everyone has different outcomes. Mine was great. Still peeing normally, no retention and no retrograde shooting. I was 120 grams and as the operation removes approximately 50%...I'm still a bit large.

I had a lot of bleeding in the first week after surgery and that kept me on a larger catheter for a week. Drinking lots of water (3 quarts a day) made it much better. Bleeding stopped completely at the end of week 3 - beginning of week 4. I went back to work at the end of week 3...and it wouldn't have prevented me from traveling. However, I wouldn't have done miles of walking when first back, and certainly not in hilly areas. Hope that helps.
