I am at 5 weeks and have urgency and leakage, not happy with this procedure. Wish I never had it.

@elglide Based on my experience you may want to give it a little more time and try some adjustments in what you drink. Avoiding caffeine, carbonated beverages, such as sparkling water and pop, and eliminating or cutting back on alcohol consumption was beneficial for me. I also avoid drinking liquids after 8:00 P.M. to minimize the need to pee during the night. It took about three months for me to experience the full benefits of aquablation and I am very happy with the results.

@elglide I don't know your specific history including your age, or how long or how severe your bph symptoms were, but it's possible your pelvic floor is very weak which might be corrected by pelvic floor therapy though it's probably too soon for that. Also the longer we delay treatment the more damage we do to our bladder so treatment earlier rather than later is important. I never experience leakage but 5 weeks is pretty early still and everyone's journey is different. In addition to avoiding to much caffeine and carbonated drinks my pelvic floor therapist said to add citrus drinks to the list. There are meds to help with the urgency during recovery. What does your doctor say about your leakage?
