How this treatment impacted my life the most

Initially the bladder is more sensitive. However, after a few weeks this returns to normal. I get up once or twice a night now for a pee but this could be age related now.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

The treatment was pain free involving 2 procedures both requiring general anaesthetics. After this recovery is very quick.
