TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
TURP is a surgical procedure commonly performed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and blocks the normal flow of urine. The surgery helps relieve urinary problems and restores bladder function.

When TURP is Needed
Enlargement of the prostate due to aging and hormonal changes can cause urinary difficulties. Symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, incomplete bladder emptying, and nighttime urination often indicate the need for surgical intervention.

How the Procedure Works
During TURP, excess prostate tissue is carefully removed using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra. Since no external cuts are required, the recovery is usually faster compared to open surgery. After the procedure, patients are monitored for urinary improvement and may require temporary catheterization.

Recovery & Care
After surgery, patients are advised to rest, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity, and limit alcohol or caffeine. Proper hydration and following medical guidance play an important role in smooth recovery.
