My Prostate has over 3 years become enlarged. Have already had 2 Turps. At 75 not worried about ejaculations.

    I  am sorry that your having problems but for being the gold standard of procedures it causeing you more trouble.  Don't know hor your surgery was but you do lose alot of blood.  Maybe you should see if something else would help you Uro-lift or PAE Has you get older you heal slower.  Having your prostate out will cause more problems Ken
