Who is this surgery for?
- Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) such as frequent urination, nocturia, weak stream, or difficulty starting/stopping urine flow.
- Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels found during routine screening.
- Diagnosis or suspicion of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) causing significant obstruction.
- Symptoms of prostatitis, including pelvic pain, painful urination, or fever.
- Positive biopsy or strong clinical/imaging suspicion of prostate cancer.
- Recurrent urinary tract infections or urinary retention linked to prostate issues.
How to prepare
- Medical History Review: Provide a complete list of medications (especially blood thinners), allergies, and past medical history.
- Diagnostic Tests: Undergo required pre-procedure tests like blood work (PSA, coagulation profile), urine analysis, and possibly ECG.
- Medication Adjustments: Your urologist may instruct you to stop certain medications like aspirin or anticoagulants several days before a procedure.
- Bowel Prep: For some surgical procedures, you may need to use an enema or laxative to empty the rectum.
- Fasting: If undergoing anesthesia, you will be instructed to fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours prior.
- Consent & Discussion: A detailed discussion with your urologist about the procedure's goals, risks, and alternatives, followed by signing an informed consent form.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding: Risk of bleeding during or after surgical procedures, potentially requiring transfusion.
- Infection: Risk of urinary tract infection or, rarely, sepsis following instrumentation or surgery.
- Urinary Incontinence: Temporary or, less commonly, permanent leakage of urine, especially after prostate cancer surgery.
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Potential for difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, a known risk of radical prostatectomy and some other procedures.
- Retrograde Ejaculation: Common after BPH surgeries, where semen flows backward into the bladder during orgasm.
- Stricture or Scarring: Narrowing of the urethra (urethral stricture) requiring further treatment.
- Anesthesia Risks: General risks associated with anesthesia, including allergic reactions or cardiovascular events.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Op: A urinary catheter is often placed for 1-7 days to allow healing and ensure bladder drainage.
- Pain Management: Discomfort is managed with prescribed pain medications; it is typically most significant in the first few days.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving for 2-6 weeks as advised by your surgeon. Walking is encouraged.
- Hydration & Diet: Drink plenty of water to flush the bladder. A high-fiber diet can help prevent constipation, which can strain the surgical site.
- Follow-up Care: Crucial follow-up appointments to monitor healing, remove the catheter, manage symptoms, and check PSA levels if applicable.
- Pelvic Floor Exercises: Early initiation of Kegel exercises can significantly aid in regaining urinary control.
- Monitoring for Complications: Watch for and report signs of infection (fever, chills), heavy bleeding, or inability to urinate after catheter removal.

Karan Reddy, a 58-year-old software engineer...
Karan Reddy, a 58-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, had always been active and health-conscious. Over the past year, he noticed a frustrating change: he was getting up to urinate 4-5 times a night, and his once-strong stream had become weak and hesitant. It was affecting his sleep and, consequently, his focus at work. His primary care physician referred him to a urologist, who diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). After trying medication with limited success, the urologist recommended a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), explaining it as the gold-standard procedure to remove the obstructive tissue. Karan was apprehensive about surgery but proceeded. The procedure itself was under spinal anesthesia and went smoothly. The initial recovery involved a catheter for a day and some burning with urination, but within a week, his symptoms improved dramatically. The emotional journey was significant; before the procedure, he felt a quiet anxiety about aging and losing his vitality. Afterward, with restful sleep restored and his urinary function back to normal, he felt a profound sense of relief and regained confidence, eager to return to his morning walks and projects without constant interruption.
