I had TURP 3 months ago due to BPH. My situation is only a little better but not good enough. Still have to urinate about once an hour(before TURP it was every half hour) and flow is weak. Also, very little urine comes out and I find myself pushing to get the last drops out. Most of the time I feel that I emptied out after urinating but sometimes during the day I have the discomfort associated with not feeling empty. I sleep almost all night without having to go during the night but that was true before the surgery as well. Actually, I was doing better a month ago than now and that is my major concern. Is this all the normal recovery process and can I expect for things to improve as time goes on, or after 3 months should I be in a better place? Should I wait before returning to my urologist? In general I would say that the improvement since TURP is only marginal. Thanks
HelloThanks for query. You have difficulty in passing urine and frequency for urination even after three months of TURN surgery for enlarged prostate. This could be either narrowing of urethral passage (Stricture Urethra) which is common after TURN or second possibility of persistent UTI. Please get your routine Urine test and urine culture done to rule out infection. Visit your Urologist and discuss with him regarding doing endoscopic examination of urethra and bladder (Cystoscopy) . If needed he may do endoscopic dilatation of urethral passage (VIA)during the same sitting. This will resolve your problem. Chat Doctor.
