After TURP surgery what is percent who get retrograde ejaculation?

AI says ...
Not necessarily. Seeing some fluid come out now doesn't rule out retrograde ejaculation later. Before you've been cleared for sexual activity, the fluid you notice may be normal postoperative drainage or secretions and isn't the same as a true ejaculation. Retrograde ejaculation is only really apparent after orgasm, when semen flows backward into the bladder instead of out through the penis. After a TURP, some men still have a small amount of semen come out, while others have little or none. The only way to know for sure is after you've healed and your urologist has cleared you to resume sexual activity. If preserving fertility is important to you, it's worth discussing that with your urologist at your follow-up appointment. For now, following the recommended waiting period gives your prostate and urinary tract the best chance to heal.

I had a turp 11 years ago.....I remember I had 1–2 retrograde ejaculations when I started having sex again, and then no more. I had a reduction in semen also but no big deal.

@sshz I am hoping for the best. Thanks for your response.

I had TURP 6 weeks ago still with perineum pain and burning every night. I am on one or two hours of sleep everyday. Waiting for the pain to be over. Surgeon gave meds that could potentially lead to urinary retention or insomnia so I didn't take them. I am going to see a therapist to deal with anxiety due to lack of sleep.

Not to worry you, but I didn't feel like myself for 2 1/2 months after my Turp. Fortunately, I wasn't working at the time- I couldn't have done it during my recovery. The discomfort lasted a long time for me, but did eventually get better. I was a long time BPH sufferer and the Dr. said, the longer you had issues before the Turp, the longer recovery will be before you feel fine again. I've know some people that took 3 months to feel right, but no one longer than that.

@pc75 So after the 6-week waiting period and masturbating, I did notice my delayed ejaculation did improve somewhat but volume was greatly reduced but the good news is that some semen does come out although not as powerful as before. So, I guess at this point I have avoided RE for now.

@pc75 what is turp surgery?

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgery used to treat urinary difficulties caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate
. The procedure involves inserting a resectoscope through the urethra via the penis, allowing the surgeon to see and remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. No external incisions are required, and the tissue is removed piece by piece using an electrical loop or, in some cases, a button-shaped device that vaporizes tissue
