TURP (Prostate Surgery) may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: difficulty urinating, frequent urination, enlarged prostate. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.
Common Symptoms:
No external incision is made. A resectoscope is inserted through the penis. An electrical loop wire is used to cut away excess prostate tissue and seal blood vessels. A catheter is placed to irrigate the bladder.
Before TURP (Prostate Surgery): 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Hospital stay is 2-3 days until the catheter is removed. Blood in urine is common initially. Sexual function is usually preserved, though dry orgasm (retrograde ejaculation) is a common side effect.
After TURP (Prostate Surgery): 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, TURP (Prostate Surgery) carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
