holep surgery recovery
I had holep surgery in march of 2025. Three months later and I still leak constantly during the day. Night time in bed I can sleep all night and wake up pretty much dry, but on my feet, especially with activity I leak almost constantly, 6-7 depends guards a day. Very frustrating. Three month follow up the Dr. did not have much to say. Started myrbetrique and said keep doing kegels. Called a place to start pelvic floor PT. Very trying time. Can't really go anywhere or do anything. My prostate size was in the 90's and I am a 67 year old in good health.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Why did you have to have TURP
surgery after HoLEP surgery? I thought once you have HoLEP surgery, you don’t need anything else. Also HoLEP surgery is highly dependent on the skill of the surgeon. I’ve heard of people getting TURP surgery, and then later on because tissue has grown back they had HoLEP. I had my HoLEP done July 17. My incontinence was pretty bad. I was probably using anywhere from 4 to 6 pads a day. I finally realized that I have a UTI. Been on antibiotics for one week and it’s so much better. How I can get away with one to three pads a day. And that’s just me wanting to change them more often than I need to. The doctor wants me on one more week of antibiotics. I’m also going to start EMSELLA chair sessions next week. I’m hoping that that really helps me. I hear good things about it.
@alfonse I had to have TURP so that I could totally empty my bladder and the urologist said I needed it because he saw what was causing my UTI’s and the TURP would correct both issues.
