TURP for Prostatitis

[Archives1]

Hello all - my Dr is hinting towards a possible TURP as a next step for my Prostatitis and slightly enlarged prostate. Does anyone have experience with this - what to expect, side effects, etc.?

I had TURP and had good results from it. After a weekend with a catheter, my urination flow was increased, though not the "fire hose" that was mentioned as a possibility. The best part was that I was able to cut down on the times I woke up during the night to pee, from 3-4 times a night to around 2. I think my PSA also went down a bit, but not enough. A few years later I needed radical RP, which I had in June 2022. The problem with my recovery now is that my earlier TURP is delaying my incontinence issues, maybe by 6 months or so.
