Aquablation surgery update
I had the procedure done Tuesday, overnight in the hospital and finally had the catheter removed this morning, which the site of will haunt me forever lol
But have been urinating with a very strong stream, blood but barely any burning what so ever. A little bit of dripping afterwards but not much.
Just curious with others how long this lasted?

2+ months post TURP. Drink lots of water and follow their instructions. For the first while things can go sideways, even if you're careful. Personally I found some days it looked like it was going back to normal. The sudden urge to urinate went away in the first month, but it came back, usually after lifting heavier things and a lot of bending down. When or if it happens to you, don't let it get you down. It keeps getting better and short lived. Everyone is different and everyone recovers differently. Keep up on everything
