Why Prostatectomy (TURP) Is Needed

This transurethral resection is performed to relieve urinary obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an age-related, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that gradually squeezes the urethra and blocks urine flow. It is recommended when lifestyle changes and medications no longer control symptoms or when complications like urinary retention, kidney strain, or recurrent infections develop.

Signs You May Need Prostatectomy (TURP)

Patients typically report a weak or slow urine stream, straining to start urination, frequent nighttime urination, dribbling after voiding, and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. In more severe cases, complete inability to urinate (acute retention) or recurrent urinary tract infections signal that the blockage has become significant enough to need intervention.

Types of Prostatectomy (TURP)

Monopolar TURP is the traditional technique using an electrical loop through a resectoscope to remove excess prostate tissue via the urethra, without any external incision. Bipolar TURP is a refined version using saline irrigation instead of specialized non-conductive fluid, reducing the risk of a specific fluid-absorption complication, and both achieve the same goal of clearing the obstructing tissue to restore normal urine flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is TURP different from removing the whole prostate?

TURP only removes the inner tissue blocking the urethra, leaving the outer prostate capsule intact, which is why it treats BPH symptoms effectively but is not used to treat prostate cancer, which requires complete gland removal.

How long will I need a catheter after TURP?

A catheter is typically kept in for one to three days after surgery to allow healing and monitor for bleeding, and your care team will guide you on removal and expected urination afterward.

Will TURP cause erectile dysfunction?

TURP generally does not cause erectile dysfunction, though retrograde ejaculation, where semen flows backward into the bladder, is a common and harmless side effect that many men experience afterward.

How long until I see improvement in my urine flow?

Many men notice better urine flow within days of the catheter being removed, with continued improvement and healing over the following four to six weeks.

Can BPH symptoms return after TURP?

Symptom relief is typically long-lasting, though remaining prostate tissue can regrow very slowly over many years in some men, occasionally requiring a repeat procedure decades later.
