Optilume for BPH Procedure - Would like to compare notes with others.
Had Optilume for BPH 35 days ago Followed by 3 days of 22FR large catheter.It should be noted Catheter was not good but it should have NOT have been that way. The belief is that the ballon in the bladder was overinflated by 20ccs of Sterile water. (maybe by Accident?) Once the Catheter was removed gave me great relief. .As of now urine is clear/yellow, great stream (off the charts per the nurse) but I am getting some dribbling post urination, also have some minor blood on pad. I have ejaculated a few times, it felt good but little semen. I also had rectal (not anus) pain which I was told was to be expected. It comes and goes but urologist says to be expected as a part of healing?/ I was wondering what other guys experienced at this stage? Per the nurse she said 3 to 6 months plus for full recovery. Prior to procedure I was getting up several times a night to urinate but now..that has been reduced. My goal in this was to reduce eliminate urination at night and to stop taking Alfuzion. What are other mens experiences? Note: I surely hope I can eventually ejaculate again with a full load of semen.
