Does HoLep help excessive urination?

Could you please enlighten me about pain management after HOLEP surgery? How can someone manage burning sensation when urinating after HOLEP? Some say that acetaminophen is the way to go, but others say Pyridium is best but can cause liver and kidney problems. Ibuprofen too can cause liver and kidneys damage. Others say that you have to take lots of water, which of course will lead to more urination and burning sensation. What is the solution to it?

Did you have any underlying conditions that’s adding to the discomfort and pain? I had my surgery on 31 January so today is 52 or 53 since I left the hospital. The burning sensation for me was handled with ibuprofen. I just didn’t take it all day long because it could only go so far anyway. This thing that you feel burning. Will get shorter and shorter as far as how long it last. Although drinking water does make you go if the holep was successful , you’re gonna pee it all out anyway you’re not gonna go every hour on the hour like you used to go. I’m assuming because that was my experience recently. I went every two hours and as days went by the pain stabilized to just an annoying discomfort, and the burning under the bladder wasn’t really burning anymore, but it felt very awkward and uncomfortable. I stopped taking ibuprofen after five days and would resume after a few days off. I would just deal with the discomfort. I just did not wanna have ibuprofen in my system. 24 hours a day that can’t be good for anybody.
