My Supra Pubic open simple prostatectomy was on May 2, 2018. I saw my urologist today for a follow up on my progress post surgery. Today is June 21, 2018. I healed up nicely. NO INCONTINENCE and NO ERECTION PROBLEMS.I got rid of my urine pads for good. I do have retro-ejactulation just has he said that I would. I now can pee about 20 oz at a time. I am very happy with the surgery. One amazing benefit from surgery is that my blood pressure has drastically dropped from about 165-180/100-110 to 126/73. This lower pressure was observed as of the day of surgery. Apparently the urine was backing up into the bladder, up the ureters and up into the kidneys. The kidneys sensed that there was a problem down below with the urine flow and the kidney's upped my BP to compensate. Anyway, I am grateful that have normal blood pressure now thanks to surgery. If any of you have any questions for me feel free to ask.
