has anyone had this procedure for enlarged prostate?

how long did you have anything for?

Has your urine function returned to normal? how long did it take to do so.

How long was the procedure itself?

many thanks!

Did not have aquablation but had steam ablation which my Doc said was less aggressive and therefore presumably safer (less able to damage parts of prostate to be avoided). My experience with steam ablation was pretty bad. Could not pee for weeks after - was catheterized for three weeks; was told it would be 3 days. Two trips to emergency room, including one for UTI. Would never have done it if I was told that type recovery was possible.

If I had it to do over, I would seriously look into a PAE (prostatic artery embolization), or just wait and use pharmaceutical relief for another year or two while (I'm told) several new, and better, procedures are being developed for BPH treatment.

Best of luck to you in whatever direction you decide.
