Aquablation therapy has been proven as a safe and effective treatment for patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Aquablation therapy can be performed on prostates of any size. Dr. Canterbury or Dr. Bentley will evaluate if you are an appropriate candidate for Aquablation therapy.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary. These may include mild pain, bleeding or strain while urinating, discomfort in the pelvis, inability to empty the bladder, a frequent and/or urgent need to urinate, and bladder or urinary tract infection. Other risks include, but are not limited to, ejaculatory dysfunction and a low risk of injury to the urethra or rectum. Speak with your urologist about the potential side effects and risks associated with Aquablation therapy.

As with most benign prostatic hyperplasia procedures, you will wake up with a catheter following Aquablation therapy, which allows you to urinate while your urethra heals. The procedure may involve an overnight stay in the hospital. The benefit with Aquablation therapy is that most patients end up leaving the hospital without a catheter. Once you’re home, the most common side effects you may experience are mild burning during urination for a couple of weeks. This can be managed with mild pain medication. Patients can resume their normal activities once approved by their doctor. Please refer to the discharge instructions provided by your surgeon.
