I had a TUIP nine days ago; a rather unpleasant, but not intolerable experience. I would like to speak with others who have had this procedues, to compare notes on healing times, bleeding, etc.

day or two. I used vicodin for a few days. There was blood in my urine for
about six weeks. I was told not to do heavy work for about six weeks. I was

TURP vs PROSTATITIS
I have read in the prostatitis newgroup that a TURP fouls up the prostate
drainage and makes it more susceptible to prostatitis

So why bother with the destructive surgury that is TURP with all its
attendant possibilities of side effects and dangers when you could have PVP
and recover fast plus way way less risk of problems
