Why Prostate Surgery (TURP) Is Needed

TURP is performed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly develops with age and compresses the urethra, obstructing urine flow. It is recommended when medications fail to control symptoms adequately or when complications like urinary retention, recurrent infections, bladder stones, or kidney damage develop from the blockage.

Signs You May Need Prostate Surgery (TURP)

Common symptoms include a weak or interrupted urine stream, difficulty starting urination, frequent urination especially at night, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and in severe cases, sudden inability to urinate at all. Recurrent urinary tract infections or visible blood in the urine can also signal significant prostate obstruction needing surgical evaluation.

Types of Prostate Surgery (TURP)

Standard monopolar TURP uses an electrical loop passed through the urethra to shave away excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow, while bipolar TURP uses a different energy source that allows the use of saline instead of specialized fluid, reducing certain complication risks. Newer alternatives like laser enucleation or vaporization of the prostate offer similar symptom relief with potentially less bleeding, and your urologist will recommend the best fit based on prostate size and your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TURP a permanent cure for BPH symptoms?

TURP provides significant, often long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms for most men, though prostate tissue can regrow over many years in some cases, occasionally requiring repeat treatment.

Will TURP affect my sexual function?

TURP does not typically cause erectile dysfunction, but retrograde ejaculation, where semen goes into the bladder instead of out during climax, is a common and generally harmless side effect.

How long is the catheter needed after TURP?

A urinary catheter is usually kept in place for one to three days after surgery to allow the prostate area to heal and irrigate any bleeding, after which it is removed and normal urination is assessed.

How long is recovery after TURP?

Most men notice improved urine flow within days, with full recovery and return to normal activities over four to six weeks as internal healing completes.

What are alternatives to TURP for treating BPH?

Medications, minimally invasive options like laser therapy or water vapor therapy, and lifestyle changes are often tried first, with TURP reserved for moderate to severe symptoms or when other treatments have not worked well.
