It sounds like you definitely had a doctor with experience, which is the best thing you can do for yourself. I had my HoLep about 5 1/2 weeks ago. Don’t be alarmed if you had another few days where you see signs of bleeding again. I had about a week of mostly clear, then about more 3 days where there were signs of blood / small debris. I remembered my doctor saying that was to be expected as the internal scabs cleared.
As for bowel movement, I used Milk of Magnesia for the first couple of days. Then, if I went a couple of days with nothing, I took a stool softner like Colace. After the first week or so, I felt like that was pretty much back to normal so I stopped. The important thing, I think, was just to not have to strain to go.
From my understanding, once this is done, it should not be a problem with the prostate growing back… I will be so glad when the 10 pound weight restriction is over in about one more week!
I hope you continues to do well!
