Does HoLep help excessive urination?

Hello @breckord, Welcome to Connect. I believe the purpose of the HoLEP surgery is to help make it easy to empty the bladder and solve the frequent urination problem.

"HoLEP removes the entire portion of the prostate that can block urine flow. It can be an option to treat a severely enlarged prostate. The treatment provides a lasting solution for an enlarged prostate — a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)." --- Holmium laser prostate surgery - Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/holmium-laser-prostate-surgery/about/pac-20384871

Are you considering having HoLEP surgery?

Could you please enlighten me about pain management after HOLEP surgery? How can someone manage burning sensation when urinating after HOLEP? Some say that acetaminophen is the way to go, but others say Pyridium is best but can cause liver and kidney problems. Ibuprofen too can cause liver and kidneys damage. Others say that you have to take lots of water, which of course will lead to more urination and burning sensation. What is the solution to it?
