Excellent information. I am seeing a surgeon in a few days so will summarise all the points raised, and discuss them with the surgeon. Very informative, very encouraging. I will start Kegel ASAP. Thank you.
A very good overview. I had this surgery a little over a month ago. I had a large prostate and I’m almost 70. I spent three days in the hospital so I’m an outlier. But bleeding stopped on the fifth day after surgery. I only had one minor incident with bleeding after that. The operation totally works, big increase in flow rate. I am experiencing some incontinence with bladder spasms as my body adapts to the new plumbing. Have a pack of diapers handy for the first week or two. Good news was no sign of cancer in the tissue that was removed. I considered that a bonus of the operation.
I lived with those symptoms for years.....finally after two bladder stones, I bit the bullet and had the surgery (TURP). My op was just a few days ago, and already I am better, yes I still have some bleeding and a little pain, but I am sleeping better and feeling confident about the future benefits. If you are suffering the symptoms, do it, get the op.
