Aquablation

I am posting this information with the thought that other older men may be going through the same prostate issue. Years ago I was diagnosed with BPH, which is a benign enlarged prostate. My prostate is three times larger than normal which restricts the flow of urine through the urethra from the bladder. This became even worse after I had a successful angioplasty in July 2022 and have used a catheter for the past nine months while taking Proscar to reduce the size of my prostate.

Tomorrow morning I will undergo a Aquablation. A water jet is guided by a robot (controlled by my urologist) to actually reduce the size of my prostate. For years, urologists have used lasers to reduce the size of the prostate.

I am expecting good results and will be able to pee normally. I will post the results of this procedure soon.

Thanks.
