Impeded urine flow was having a huge impact on my quality of life which was deteriorating, and so taking the step to having prostate surgery was essential. I chose Aquablation because I perceived it to be as good as other options, whilst minimising the likelihood of side effects, both sexual and continence.
My proceduere experience from beginning to end was all dealt with most professionally and in an unflappable supportive way.
Whilst having a catheter can seem daunting,it was undertaken with consideration, and at no time did I feel any sense of embarrassment despite the intimate nature of the treatment. The nursing staff showed care and discretion, making me and my family feel most welcome. They were absolutely flexible and accommodating over the timing of my departure.
After the operation it took about 1 month before I felt confident when out of the house without thinking about the location of the nearest loo. Five months on, I so rarely consider it, I sometimes leave it almost too late. I can now go to a restaurant or the cinema without any worries.
I have total confidence in Neil Barber who has been great to deal with, approaching potentially embarrassing subjects as if talking about woodwork or even plumbing.
