I had my TURP operation 8 weeks ago, the bleeding stopped after about 10 days and along with a few scabs. At the moment I find when I go to pass urine, although it comes out fast, there does not seem to be a great amount. Has anyone else come across this.

His flow is more important than the volume that he is passing if his frequency is near enough normal and he does not feel that he is retaining..
Sad fact in the UK is that TURP is still No. 1 with most NHS urologists and they don't spread the news about the 'newer' proedures like PVP that have only been around for a mere twelve years. In 2005 I had to insist on being referred to a hospital in another part of the country doing PVP.
When I needed a second procedure the traditionalists at my local hospital only offered TURP and I had to find out for myself that another surgeon at the hospital had been doing Holmium Laser surgery for over five years.

As I said after my PVP it was easier than going to the dentsts and I would not mind having one every year if needed. As it was I lasted eight years. The hospital who did my PVP eventually on a split decision went over to HOLEP that my reading of US forums seems to be the Go For procedure on your side of the Pond.
I was quite happy to take Holmium laser as it had been around for a while and saved me from having to travel for PVP or HOLEP.
