Does anyone have any tips for pre and post op TURP procedure?

Posted by dbee @dbee, Jun 30, 2024

I’m thinking about catheter pain, pants to wear post procedure, and any other tips to make the process as comfortable as possible. I’m a bit terrified.

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

Just received this diagnosis. I'm scared and have no idea what should be next. Any thoughts ...?
There is a large (2.7 x 1.7 x 2.5 cm) homogeneously T2 hypointense lesion in the posterolateral left
peripheral zone extending
from base of gland apex with marked diffusion restriction and associated hyperenhancement on
postcontrast sequences. PI-RADS 5.
Lesion broadly abuts the outer prostatic margin. Presence or absence of extraprostatic extension
cannot be determined due to the
extent of motion artifact.

I had a PI-Rads 5 lesion that resolved itself over a 6 month period.

@curley3, I moved your question about incontinence after TURP procedure to this discussion in the Men's Health group:
- Does anyone have any tips for pre and post op TURP procedure? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-anyone-have-any-tips-for-pre-and-post-op-turp-procedure/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others talking about TURP and incontinence like @brucekn @elcorbs @pamperme and others.

Curley, have you worked with a physical therapist on Kegel's or other pelvic floor exercises?

I had Green Light Laser therapy to remove part of my bladder neck that was keeping urine in my bladder in 2011, in Springfield, IL. That procedure worked to solve my urge incontinency, but the problem has returned within the past couple of years, and it's one of the things Mayo is seeing me for. They want me to use an intermittent catheter, which I was opposed to at first, but I've grown to accept the idea as the "least bad" option. Drug therapy doesn't work for me, or causes me to hold too much urine in my bladder.

I am not sure what a physical therapist could do?
