Hi there, I'm 75 and in the UK and recently had Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia diagnosed when I attended an emergency department for serious faecal and urine retention. That was back in the first few days of September and I was subsequently catheterised right up until the 13th November when I underwent Aquabalation reduction of the prostate as a private patient at a private UK hospital. Since then I was ambulanced back to hospital where I underwent emergency bladder irrigation and an overnight stay in hospital where I received two units of blood due to a much reduced Hb level, having dived from 136 to 80 due to post operative bleed. The final catheter came out five days ago and now I'm in a lot of pain around the penis, scrotal and rectal areas although I can pee but with incredible urgency.
Happy to expand on this of course but looking for similar experiences if possible ...
