Prostate remnants in urine after treatment

I'm researching various treatments for BPH and have seen many guys posting that x amount of day/weeks after treatment, remnants of the prostate that were removed to allow urine flow are clogging their catheters or seen in their urine. I guess I don't have a good grasp on my own anatomy so I'm confused on how those pieces of prostate end up in the urine. I thought the urine path from the bladder and semen ejaculatory path from the prostate were separate or at least separated by some kind of valve. Can someone enlighten me or point me to a link that explains this.

    Pretty sure this was from my prostate.

      Timothy , it would be interesting to have a doctor explain what that is and how it got there. Maybe you could ask next time you see him/her

    I am 17 days post-TURP and am still seeing occasional debris in my urine. Most are pretty small but a couple have been large enough that I felt them. My doctor said they are scabs coming off, just like if you skinned your knee.
