Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / June 2008TURP
Hi! I had TURP last Thursday (my prostate was too large for PVP). Just about everytime I urinate there is a "burning" sensation at the end. It is quite intense but only lasts a few seconds and then there is no pain until the next time. I know we are all unique so it will vary, but about how long does it take on avarage for this to stop? Thanks. > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > next time. I know we are all unique so it will vary, but about how long > does it take on avarage for this to stop? Thanks. Welcome to the club. I have the burning sensation (quite painful) at the beginning and end of urination. I had my TURP 3 1/2 weeks ago. Was supposed to be a PVP but that's a whole 'nother story. A friend who had a TURP told me it took him a month to get rid of the pain. At 3 1/2 weeks I'm still passing blood clots and the urine is still a little reddish though not as bright red as it was the first week.

They kept me in the hospital an extra day because of them. Sometimes there is a little tinge of red, sometimes not, but in either case there is usually pain. They told me to take it easy for at least four weeks. I go back to the doctor July 1st for checkup. Good luck and I hope you soon return to normal. > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the next time.

I think the burning sensation lasted about a week or ten days although it was never very severe. Don in Tracy, Calif. It took me about 3 weeks and by then I was becomming quite despondent however the improvement came quite suddenly and by week 4 everything was wroking peerfectly. I posted my history on this site about 4 months ago, if you search you may be able to find it. Good luck - by the way I find that there has been no change in my erections and intercourse is just as good as ever. > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the next time.

I underwent the TURP three weeks ago and just now have relief from the burning sensation and the uncontrollable urge to pee every hour or two. Bloody urine lasted more than two weeks for me. It is just now clearing up. Clots were few and not too bad to pass. The sex urge is returning. BTW, I'm 79 and seem to be doing fine. I've been taking walks and cutting the grass, in parcels, for exercise. It looks like I'll survive :-) I see the Uro. Dr. Monday. Will keep you posted.

Van Guys, I'm curious what to expect for recovery from a TURP. I may have to have one of these maybe in the next year. What I'm wondering is, how long until you can work (desk work), walk for 40 minutes, do weights at the gym, run, take long flights (4 hours or longer), and so on. Is there any need to stay home for some weeks in case of emergency (like bleeding)? How long until you are fully back to normal and can do everything you did before? I work full time and travel by air roughly once a month (including overseas trips), and am wondering about the impact a TURP would have. Ed Even though I'm retired (21 years now, and 79), I feel like I could go = back to work at a desk job after two weeks following the TURP. I've been = doing the grass and walking a mile or so most every day since the = procedure. Stayed pretty close to a bathroom for the first two weeks = though. Still wear a pad in shorts to catch an occasional drip.=20 At three weeks the Uro said no cancer :-) and for me to resume all = activities. So, I'm going sailing for a long weekend with a friend. Flow rate is still somewhat below that of a little boy. Hopefully that = will improve within a few more weeks. In general, if things look normal, I'd say no more than two weeks at = home, maybe a little less. Probably no long flights for three weeks. My = opinion, of course. >>> Hi! >>> [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Ed <snip> > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Ed I am 59 years old. The doctor told me to take one week off from work so I did. It has been about 12 days since my surgery and walking is no problem and working is fine except my nervous energy level seems low. The pain is much less now. Some nights I only got up twice but other nights I was up every 2 hours. I would not like to go to work the next day after waking up so much. I still avoid sitting on hard surfaces and no straining during BM. I try to get up and walk at work without sitting too long. I was told to avoid very strenuous exercise like bike riding/heavy lifting for 4 weeks. I believe I could cut my grass ok now and a four hour flight would seem ok to me, but it is best to ask your doctor. |
