Again why TURP when there are other kinder gentler procedures? I'm already on dutasteride [maybe soon to be disasteride] and will find out pretty quick if it's helping. Also, I'll keep on the way it is for as long as I can. Anything that will avoid a catheter.

You are right that you only want to use the TURP If there is no other option that works for you. If you’re going to have radiation, it may make sense to do that since the prostate gets pretty melted down after radiation.

For someone that has a continuous problem of not being able to pee, without standing there for a long time as it dribbles out, a TURP is a good solution.
