Has anyone experienced incontinence after HOLEP surgery ?

Posted by azfox66 @azfox66, 3 days ago

I recently had HOLEP surgery at the end of 2024. One of my main issues nine weeks later is incontinence or leakage. Been doing kegels but it still persists. Has anyone else experienced this and for how long?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Men's Health Support Group.

Did you experience strong bruning sensation when peeing, after HOLEP? Did you make the surgery with a procedure called MILEP (less invasive)? How do you hidrate yourself knowing that after drinking a lot of water you have to pee painfully? How do you cope with this? Medicines help to relieve the pain? Thank you

I had median lobe holep 1/31/25
As of today I’m not experiencing any major issues side effects associated with this procedure.
My nerves in the area treated still feel slightly sore now and then.

Congratulations my friend, I have to make a MILEP (less invasive HOLEP) surgery too, but I am really afraid of pos operative outcomes. I have only one working kidney, and I´m figuring myself how can I take high doses of pain relievers, without burden my only kidney.
I´m very anxious, May God help me.

If you’re going to a skilled surgeon hopefully your pain management won’t be too severe. Everyone differs when it comes to healing and more if you have underlying conditions. If all goes well the only post op pain for holep is a sting when go after catheter removal and any healing in the area treated

Unfortunately to me there´s a study at The Journal of Urology called - A SCRUTINIZED ANALYSIS OF DYSURIA IN THE FIRST WEEKS AFTER HOLMIUM LASER ENUCLEATION OF THE PROSTATE (HOLEP): WHO SHOULD WE BLAME?
where it´s said that - dysuria currently represents the main problem after endoscopic enucleation of the prostate with Holmium Laser (HoLEP). This scared me a lot, because I have only working kidney and, how can I take a lot of pain relievers without damaging my kidney? And how one can hydrate himself with a lot of fluids knowing that he will feel a lot of pain when peeing? I really don´t what know what to do. I´m really completely lost with all of these information. And worst at all my BPH symptoms are getting worst and worst.

I´m very glad you found a reliable doctor to assist you. My actual health is very bad because of BPH. I have difficult begin urinating, frequency and by night I wake up 5 times to urinate. I´m very tired. Using only tamsuloin plus dutasteride, but effects lasts only 8 hours. I really need to make a surgery
