I had TURP surgery 11 weeks ago and my frequency and urgency have improved greatly. I am still having irritation/pain at my penile opening. Is this normal? If so does it get better? My stream is strong and no blood. Just the irritation. Any help/advice is appreciated.

@dwwilliams164 AFter 11 weeks, it is UNUSUAL to feel pain at penile opening. If there is pain, it should be barely minimal and last only a couple of days. The irritiation comes from the ultra thin rod that directs the camera and laser, to reduce the prostate tissue., because even though it is ultra thin, it still has to slide in through the penile opening.
UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is a potential side effect of these procedures. Check to ensure that possiblilty is ZERO. UTI is deadly.

I am at 8 weeks after TURP. Still burning and perineum pressure. My urologist is at a loss to explain it. Today, after consulting with another Urologist, recommended I take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with water 3 times a day. I have also asked to see a pelvic floor physical therapist. We shall see.
