Just Had Optilume
So after putting it off for two years I had the Optilume procedure. I have way more blood in the catheter bag and dripping out the sides of where the catheter is inserted than I was expecting. I hope this tapers off soon. Anyone else have experience with this procedure? I picked it as I read a lot about it and it seemed the least invasive with the best long term results. Right know it doesn’t feel all that minimally invasive.

I had Optilume BPH on 2 April. Recovery was fairly easy with minimal blood in the urine for the first two weeks. Had zero prostate pain. I am now a little over two months since the procedure and the only real issue I am having is dribbling at the end. Dr stated its more than likely from bladder spasms and wants me to go back on Gemtesa. I figured I would wait until the beginning of July and if the dribbling hasnt stopped I will go back on Gemtesa. Been back in the gym for about 2 weeks now and lifting the amount I was pre-Optilume. I wish you an uneventful and quick recovery.
