This is a good subject to post here. I’ve been dealing with chronic prostatitis for many years along with BPH urinary symptoms. I’ve been to several urologists over the years who have only prescribed antibiotics and BPH meds.

My regular doctor finally discussed my situation with a urologist I haven’t seen before. He explained my situation and the urologist told him that I probably need prostate surgery. I set up an appointment with the urologist but I was sceptical of the need for surgery for infection.

As it turns out I met with the urologist and he explained that most likely the recurrent infections are caused by the urine blockage caused by my BPH and that surgery should dive the urinary problems and also the infections. He told me about the aquablation procedure and I’ve studied it a lot. I’ve pretty much decided that if the diagnostic tests I have scheduled next month indicate the procedure would be appropriate for me then I’m going to go through it as soon as possible.

It would really be good to be free of urinary symptoms as well as prostatitis.

Good luck to you and please keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you. Unfortunately my diagnostic tests are another five weeks away then if I have the procedure it will be another three to four weeks after that before I have the procedure. Nothing goes fast at a Urologist’s office. They really get booked up.
