Aquablation Therapy is new procedure that uses the power of water delivered with robotic precision to provide long-lasting BPH relief without the side-effects of medication or the sexual side effects.
Any side effects at all? I'm 42 and on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and I'm worried about retrograde ejaculations'. Also, how quick was your recovery?
I'm on coumadin for a mechanical heart valve. My past surgeries allowed me to go off of the coumadin for 3 days. Is it still possible for me to get the aquablation treatment? If not what's the difference between a the aquablation, holep or TURP procedures when it comes to bleeding? From what I have seen, it is common practice to cauterize any bleeders after the main procedure has been completed. Why is the bleeding (off of thinners) issue so critical for aquablation and not TURP and holep? Thanks
Had this procedure almost a year ago. Bled daily for 3 mos afterwards. Still have occasional bleeding after physical excursion almost 1 year later. Some improvement in frequency/urgency of urination. But, considering the long recovery period not feeling there has been all that much positive gain. There's been some improvement, but not as much as I was told would be the case.
@baskan3272 Aquablation does not have the long-term side effects of other methods, such as TURP. A month after I wrote that post, things are still slowly improving. A lot regarding recovery time will be determined by how enlarged the prostate is and one's general overall health. But, to say "no" side effects is a bit of an over simplification imho. Best wishes.
Hello hero! How many catheters do you have to wear during Aqua Baem? I heard that two catheters must be used, one through the urethra and one through the abdomen into the bladder, is that true? If it is possible to use a catheter through the urethra?
So a question, you place the camera and water jet in the urethra turn the water jet on, the urethra is blasted away with the prostrate? how do you preserve the urethra? or do you?
There doesn't appear to be data beyond five years yet, but at the five-year mark Aquablation appears to come out ahead of TURP in terms of ongoing symptom relief. See here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35150215/#:~:text=At%205%20years%2C%20IPSS%20scores,the%20TURP%20group%20(p%20%3D%20.
6, months and U still have not listed where you are. Does not give me much faith in using you if you forget about major things like that!. How do U expect patients 2 find U?
