Continuing To Learn About Aquablation
Yesterday, I visited the mothership in Jacksonville for a routine follow-up to the aquablation procedure I underwent in February 2024. I first had a flow test to check two things: (1) Is my improved urine flow of sufficient volume? (2) Is my bladder emptying sufficiently.
Afterward, I visited with my aquablation urologist. I appreciate this level of Mayo attention to detail and follow-up. All part of why I believe Mayo stands-out as best-in-class medical care.
For me - all tests were passed and we agreed my follow-up would be in two more years. I explained to Dr. Dora all my aquablaton expectations had been met or exceeded: (1) Almost no times where the urgency to urinate is severe. (2) Flow starts very quickly. (3) Flow volume is noticeably stronger. (4) There is no dribbling or leakage between bathroom stops. (5) Retro-grade ejaculation associated with BPH drugs has been reversed (pun intended). In all...a perfect ten out of ten.

Where can I find the basics of aquablation and it's scientific judgment?
Thanks, Phil, for your thorough feedback. Two points relevant to my situation that I wondered about are the size of your prostate before ablation and the frequency of nighttime awakenings for urination pre- and post-ablation.
