I had a TURP biopsy on May 3, 2012 and I was able to remove the catheter two days after the surgery. After my surgery I could urinate a little better and over a few days the bleeding began to cease. Problems:

Bladder spasms with pain so great that I could feel the pain move up my torso, into my arms and go deeply into my hands....which would literally throb. Taking Oxybutynin with minor relief.

Swollen prostate. Taking Avodart and it seems to be working.

Urinary urgency and Incontinence: Frequent and happens without warning. Good days and bad days. Doctor may have split my urethrea because urine sprays and dribbles from an apparent tear in the glans. No better than prior to the surgery.

Sex: May be partially psychological but no desire and no erections.

Would I do it again: NO

I was operated for TURP on 18 th Jan2012.Even after somany days I am having pain during passing urine and the frequeny also has not subsided.Tell me the reasons and how long should I have to bear this pain.

Does retrograde ejaculation cause urine flow problems/

why after surgery , you need irrigation?how many hours you need to irrigate? how many hows the patient can walk?

If you ever want to ejaculate normally again, DO NOT have this surgery. Retrograde ejaculation is a PERMANENT result in most cases. DON'T DO IT!!!!!

My father had his TURP over 2 years ago and still has a rare hematuria episode. By rare I mean once or twice a year, 1-2ml quantity. Should he be concerned? His doctor isn't!

My View Of This Surgery is if the urethra is a tube and the Gland surrounds it or it Passes through the gland and TURP uses a heated wire inserted into the Urethra, It Must First Cut Away Your Tubing, Before It Can Reach The Gland, So You No Longer Have A Gland You Have A Scarred Gland That Hopefully Will Work As A Urethral Tube Until Next Time and the urethra being made of specialized cells, muscle, etc. is better able to withstand the types of urine flows better than the after TURP Prostate Gland Cells, it’s primitive, and we call ourselves advanced..
