post turp

Rick  Your doctor did not tell you that all men heal at different rates.  Some men on here have had problems for up to 6 month's. And sometimes it does not work and end up having another turp to fix the problem.   I hope you heal fast just be care full.  Good luck  Ken

I think lasting an hour between going pee would allow you to leave your home should you want to.  I did leave the house when being able to last 45 minutes so long as I knew there was a bathroom where I was going.  Had my turp 08 November.  Did good for a couple of weeks, started passing lots of scabs, clots and way too much blood.  Was back in the hospital on 04 December with the cath for three days.  Since then I've been doing well, not passing any blood I can see and peeing about every hour and a half or so.  I've been getting up twice a night and able to pee like I was 30 again, I'm 70 now.  I'm still drinking lots of water to keep things flowing.  When I was released from the hospital the last time the dock said no special orders just no lifting till I see him on 04 Jan '17 for a followup.  Good luck Rick

my post TURP problems with urgency sorted up pretty quickly in less than 2 weeks. Myrbetriq will help. Drink plenty of fluids during the day and not much after 6 pm. Do not do any strenuous work. Walking is very helpful.

To skip coffee was very hard and I stopped it for a week but it is recommended. No beer and carbonated beverages.

Rick, congratulations!  I could leave the house immediately after I was sent home. I was not allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds, or do strenous physical activity, like mowing the lawn.  I had blood in my urine for around 5 weeks, if I remember correctly.  What I"m describing is my first turp.  I had two turps about 7 years apart.  The second turp, was to remove what they call the median lobe.  It was obstructing the passage-way.  I am one of those unlucky guy's because I had three surgeries concerning my prostate.  The first one was a green-light laser surgery, the other two were turp's.  I am crossing my fingers, that I won't have to do another surgery, in the future.  I am doing CIC, or if you are not familiar, with the term. it's self-cathing.  It's the best thing I ever did for my prostate and bladder!  I can now empty my bladder completely and it feels great.  Getting back to your question, sounds like you had a successful operation.  No bleeding, for that short a time, is pretty remarkable.  You will improve as time goes on.  It will get better and better, if all goes well.  I remember weeks after the surgery, I would sometimes urinate and a bit of tissue would pass with the urine.  It would look kind of like old blood, mixed with tissue...hard to describe in writing. It surprised me the first time it happened, and it was something that I would be concerned about, for a little while, anyway. Because of my very large prostate, I would have to be on medication, even after the surgery.  The medication, helped my urinate better. Now with CIC, I just stopped my medication 4 days ago.  I hope that my prostate, will not start to grow again.  I think I answered all of your questions, but if you have more, just let me know, and I'll try to answere them, as best I can.
