I had Aqublation done at Stanford Medical Jan 20, 2026 I had incontinence for about 3 weeks, and I wore depends to make things easier. In the 4th week I only had occasional slight incontinence when very full and bending a certain way, but I still used the Depends. After 4 weeks the incontinence was totally gone. The surgery has worked well for me I have a very good stream and do not have RE. although the amount of semen is reduced from before. When I measure the urine with urine test strips it always measures positive for leukocytes, but I have no symptoms of UTI. There are a lot of bubbles in the toilet when I urinate, and a film is left after the bubbles dissipate, The film looks to me like protein. My guess is that it is semen. You have to realize that your original urethra is gone and the urine passes through material that was once interior to the prostate. That should be true of any TURP like procedure. The Urologist says it is OK just material sloughing off after the procedure. I am happy with the Aqublation. It helped me get away from using intermittent catheters for 8 years, since I was starting to have UTIs (4 in 2025), no UTIs now for 5 months.
