Did BPH affect your orgasms, and did your procedure restore them?
BPH, Orgasm-Ejaculation, and Aquablation
Background: I’m a 66-year-old retired engineer, and my prostate was 45ml. Due to low blood pressure, I wasn’t a candidate for medication, so I opted for aquablation. I had the procedure on January 24, 2025, and as of today, February 11, I’m 18 days post-procedure.
Before the procedure, as my BPH progressed (weak stream, urgency to pee, and frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom), I also noticed that orgasms became more difficult to achieve. I estimate that I was only able to orgasm about one out of every four times, and when I did, it took significantly longer—often to the point of being uncomfortably long.
Since the procedure, my wife and I have had sex twice, and I’ve noticed that reaching orgasm has been much easier and faster. This has me wondering about others’ experiences, so I have two questions for the community:
1. Did BPH affect your ability to orgasm or the time it took to orgasm?
2. If you had a procedure like TURP, HoLEP, or Aquablation, did it restore your ability to orgasm?
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

There are some helpful discussions and comments in there. Great to hear that the treatment was successful for you (and your wife).
After my TURP, the orgasms seemed to be incomplete. That's the only way I can describe it. Like a stifled sneeze.
