So far so good after a TURP yesterday. No pain to speak of except some discomfort when actually urinating, probably due to irritation from five weeks with a Foley catheter before the procedure. It is a little disquieting seeing that much blood in the urine, but at least I can pee when I want to and not when I don’t. The surgeon said there might be some urinary incontinence for a few days, though that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m still going to wear geezer britches for a day or so just in case.

My urologist did not recommend the Urolift. I have no complaints regarding the TURP, though recovery is by no means complete at this point.

Cranberry juice for the next few weeks. Four glugs a day of the pure, unsweetened, undiluted stuff. Take it like medicine.

It will help prevent UTI's which are not uncommon after a TURP.

Glad everything turned out all right for you. May your recovery be swift.
