Post Turp operation.
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi. I had aTurp operation 3 weeks ago. It went well and i was allowed to leave hospital the next day. I had a catheter in at home for 4 days when it was then taken out at my local clinic. I peed a lot for the first week or so and after a week the blood had stopped coming out. Not too painful when i peed so am quite happy except, this.
It is now 3 weeks and i still have to wear an adult nappy because i am leaking alot during the day and at night. This may be because i have an infection and the doctor has put me on antibiotics. If not, how long would one expect to leak in general? Its my only problem.
Thanks for any response from anyone. Bob.

had a TURP on Oct. 13 of last year. They removed my catheder the following morning and I went home. I was told to practice "Kegals" (not sure of that spelling). As they've been cutting around in there, much of the muscle area is either removed or weakened. The Kegal is , as example, it's like trying to stop urinating in mid-stream. I always practiced while lying on my back, tensing those lower abdominal muscles, right up through your penis, hold for a few seconds, then release. I've seen the same technique done by slowly tightening that area over about 6-10 seconds, hold for 3-5 seconds, then release. You need to get that muscle control back, the same muscles that stop leakage when you laugh, sneeze, cough etc. All I know is after my TURP I had virtually no bladder control at all. When I sensed it was time to "go" you had better get out of my way, as I simply could not hold it at all. I Kegalled myself like crazy, Seated at my desk, lying down, before sleep, when I woke. You cannot do this "too much". The more you do these exercises, the quicker your muscles will strengthen and the leakage should stop.
Get up on YouTube and search for videos demonstrating this technique. I'm lucky my wife is a physical therapist and she taught me the technique, but the truth is , her identical teachings are on YouTube as well. Be patient, but do this as much as you can and you'll get better. I think it's called "Kegel" opr Kegal, not sure of the spelling. Best of luck.

Pelvic floor muscle exercises before and after the surgery helped me immenseley however, it was four months before I stopped leaking completely.
My bladder muscle had become so strong I was easily bypassing the catheter that was inserted immediately following the procedure and for the next couple of hours before it was removed. Back home my stream was so strong I thought I was going to crack the back of the toilet pan (joke) and it took a few weeks for the strength of the stream to lessen which goes to show how strong my bladder muscles had become over the years and as time went by they began to get back to normal.
So stick in there with the exercises and let time and nature take it's course.

I must admit that although my pee stream is ok it is nothing like yours was, but i guess we are all different. My Penis is a little sore but not too bad at all, considering it has only been just over 3 weeks since the Op.
