Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Posted by Phil, Alumni Mentor @upstatephil, Jan 26, 2024

After decades of pills to (partially) manage BPH, I am scheduled for aquablation at Mayo JAX in mid-Feb. Has anyone had that procedure done? What was post-surgery like? What were your experiences regarding regular vs. retrograde ejaculation?

My expectations are high. My general health is good+ (71 yo), my prostate is enlarged but not massive, my PSA's suggest no cancer concerns. The surgeon expects a low-risk procedure (no incisions I believe) and a quick recovery (unless something unexpected pops up). I appreciate it's impossible to predict surgical outcomes with certainty - I would like to hear of others' experiences to help set my expectations.

Wow. Well I’m glad you are better now. I thought about aquablation but chose HoLEP instead. So far so good.

@alfonse Yep, I am 9 weeks tomorrow, post Holep. An UNEVENTFUL, DRAMA-FREE recovery so far. I told the urologist last week when I saw him at my follow up appointment - you are a genius!
