Does HoLep help excessive urination?

Had HoLep procedure last November. Since procedure have progressively been unable to effectively empty the bladder after being awakened while asleep. During the day am able to urinate. Currently awakened 3 to 4 times per night with urges to urinate that may be a weak or no stream at all. Not getting much sleep. Scheduled appointment with urologist two weeks ago. Performed a scope of the urinary tract and found no obstruction. Filled bladder with fluid until emptying of bladder occurred. Prescribed oxybutinin, which has been taken over the last couple weeks without any benefit. Doctor’s office recommended taking medication for another week or so to see if conditions improve. Anyone who has had a similar experience after HoLep procedure? It seems the urologist that performed the procedure is at a loss to explain a why or provide a solution.

Could you update this? Your experience is unusual.

I am just the opposite. Had HOLEP Dec 3, 2024 and wake up 2 to 3 times a night and completely empty my bladder. During the day I get the urge to pee, and only dribble. The rest of the urine fills my diaper. I was using 6 to 7 diapers per day. I am now down to 3 or 4 diapers per day. If I sit and watch TV I can pee during the day. Of If I am up moving around I can’t. I leak it all. I just drink less water when I must be up and about. I walk 3 miles everyday to stay in shape. If I don’t drink an hour before my walk I don’t fill my diaper.
