****Hello Gents,

has anyone had the Turp done? I hear that it is an awful procedure with lots of pain and very long recovery.

I would be glad to hear about

    Why are you having a surgical procedure you don't want to have?

    Have you looked into Aquablation? A lot of people on here have had good results with it.

      i agree with michael and you made the right decision.

      I had aquablation in december 2022.

      Even though i had a way longer recovery period compared to others, i am still glad i chose aquablation.

      It has the benefits of TURP but way less side effects.

      there is a lot of information on here from people like me that had aquablation done.

      Good luck.

      I am sorry to hear that. That is one of the reasons I did want to have it done.

      I really hope that you are alright by now.

      Wish you well., please let me know

    Just a suggestion: check out aquablation as an alternative. Dr's seem to only want to do a TURP. I have not had mine yet, but I am scheduled for early June. I checked out all of the options that I could have. My prostate is 182cc's. PSA was on average 5. No cancer after 19 biopsies.
