Is Aquablation Right for You? Questions to Ask Your Urologist
By Dr. Ahmed Ali Alnaimi, Consultant Urological Surgeon
Aquablation suits many men with BPH, but not everyone. The best decision comes from an honest conversation with your specialist. Questions worth asking include:
- 1How large is my prostate, and does its shape suit Aquablation?
- 2How much is BPH affecting my bladder?
- 3What results can I realistically expect?
- 4How does Aquablation compare with the other options for me?
- 5What are the risks, including bleeding and sexual side effects?
- 6How long will recovery take, and when can I return to work and travel?
- 7How many Aquablation procedures have you performed?
Good candidates are usually men whose symptoms are bothersome or not controlled by medication, who want to avoid long-term tablets, or who want to protect sexual function. Men with certain bladder conditions, active infection or specific medical issues may be better suited to another option.
A consultation with Dr. Alnaimi includes a full assessment and a clear explanation of every option, so you can choose with confidence.
Every prostate, and every patient, is different. A consultation gives you a clear picture of your own options.
