3 months after Turp I'm still in pain in prostate area.

Posted , 6 users are following.

So it's been 3 months since my Turp surgery and as of last week im still passing clots and blood in my urine. My prostate area hurts when sitting, but not so much when standing or laying down. Anyone else have this issue? Most articles i have read state that it should be pretty much cleared up in 8 to 9 weeks.

    i'm 2 months out and sitting isn't super comfortable on hard chairs. it feels a bit (slightly) inflamed or something. I doesn't hurt but something about it doesn't feel comfortable yet. i'm sure it will get better. some times you see 6 months mentioned as the final recovery point.
