I know this news group is for prostate cancer but wonder if anyone could
help me.
Five weeks ago I had a TURP. It has been five weeks of leakage. I am using
the pads but that is not the answer for me.
My question > has anyone else had leakage after a TURP ? If so how long and
what did you do to stop it.And did you find out what caused it?

Thanks for the time

Ron

I'm currently undergoing negotiations with my Uro for a TURP in the
next few mths.
It's "hard yards" since HDRB, July 2005, with partial obstruction and
hourly nocturia for an egg-cup full, but he wants to wait almost a
full 12 mths before doing the procedure. He still admits a possibility
of it not going entirely right. He prefers a TURP over the Laser PVP
methods as he feels there's mot control over the amount of tissue
removed and lessens the possibility of destroying the bladder
sphincter.

Having said all that, you'll probably get some more specific opinions
in the Usenet group, sci.med.prostate.bph
