    I had TURP in Jan 2016.  Best decision I ever made.  No problems at all and it solved all my issues with BPH.  I considered all the options and chose TURP as it had the best long term success probability,

      From a previous post you said the median lobe was the problem so your surgeon did well as that is the area where RE is mostly caused.

      Bill,

      Even though the prostate obstruction may have been reduced, the bladder has to be retrained. It is still used to going frequently. Takes time for this to resolve. Ask your doctor about bladder training and look at PTNS (look this up on the internet). I am going through both procedures now.

      This all takes time...
