You might want to have some laxatives on hand. Just in case. You’ll probably be fine if you are drinking a lot of water, but hey you never know.

2 weeks post surgery today. The first week fell across Labor Day weekend and my cath stayed in for a week. That was the worst part, just a huge annoyance along with some minor discomfort. Getting rid of that thing was pure Heaven. Very little post op pain but for some irritation and burning at the end of the pee. The blood level goes right along with the level of activity. I began passing some small clots over the past few days. Today, the doctor says I'm doing well - pathology was clear and symptoms are normal. Oh by the way... I'm peeing like I can't remember how good. Don't put this off, guys... it's not a big deal.

Im on day 7 going to hopefully get catherter removed tomorrow, I am a little worried as I distended my bladder before getting surgery. My recovery has been pretty much as you described, only had to take pain meds twice at night to sleep better. Thanks for all the info, very helpful.

Hello I appreciate you for having the courage to speak out on this I feel so much better about my surgery my doctor hasn’t set the date yet I’m 58 years old I know what it’s like having a catheter 😮 it’s no picnic

Day 9 After TURP, feeling great! Limited only to walking up to 3 miles flat. Returning to work on September 16th with heavy restrictions.

About a year and half since turp. Very thankful for the ability to piss when I need to and be done. Unfortunately it also wiped out any chance of a normal sex life. Asked about it and was told basically it’s the way it will be. Stuck with a dead dick.

Hey my friend, this is Neil again, if you by any chance go by Santa Rosa, please let me know I would like to personally give you a hug and thank you for the information that you have given me. Anyway, on a different note: how often were you changing your absorbable underwear during the day after your catheter was removed?

Two times going to the bathroom already but strong current with a short duration….catheter was removed this morning at 845 am

Definitely! I will take it easy. I do have to come back at 2pm, they will do an ultrasound on my bladder just to make sure that I am emptying it completely after I urinate ….

Day 6 for me, just had my catheter removed. Any suggestions?

Brian, Melbourne Australia here. I've known this has been coming for me for a few years now but seeing and hearing you certainly takes a bit of the stress out of it. Much appreciated and a great video. Will get back here after I have had mine done. Cheers

Can we all give thanks for this video - absolutely the best explanation and to the point. Wonderful job!

Girls: "I wonder why we live longer" Boys:

I'm right at my 6 months now Aug 2024 from TURP surgery and I can say its great! Just like I was in my 30's and I'm mid 60's now, Everything Rob says in this video is pretty much the same as I had experienced! I waited to long to have this done because I was scared but now I wish I had done it at least 5 years sooner

grazie mille sei un grande mi e servito molto

Great video and thanks for the info. I had the procedure 1 week ago. Had the catheter removed 2 days later. I voided fine at the doctor appointment. So far, so good. I am experiencing the post surgery things that you mentioned, like the reddish/cherry urine and scab tissue here and there. Had a lot of stinging pain at first, but that has subsided a lot. Definitely need to drink plenty of plain water. My doctor went over everything and he explained it all very well. Everything has pretty much went as he said it would up to this point. Watching videos on the procedure will definitely help give some insight on it also. I see my doctor next week for follow-up. Again, great video, very informative!

I'm scheduled for a TURP in a week. I've had a green light laser procedure 6.5 years ago, however the urine flow has gotten reduced again. The first time around, I wore a Foley cathetor for one month prior. I opted to wear the cathetor over the self cathetor as I could not get relief for very long using the self cathetor. My experiences with the laser seem consistent with yours here. If the cathetor is the worst part of your situation, then I should have this made.

Then you speed up like a typical motorcycle moron.

Thats a nice horn ive been looking into the possibility of an air horn for my 150

These little a$$ cars turning wider than a semi should have their licenses revoked. You can't drive!!!

Literally people in the comments talking about how you shouldn't be in the blind spot but y'all HE JUST FINISHED THE TURN he didn't even have acceleration time yet. It's the car's fault for sure.

Hmmm, blind spots

Well, you are in the Blindspot why do you feel entitled?

BRO, OAKHURST. Dude that turn has some crazy people driving it.

You’re chillin in his blindspot he should check his blind spot but it’s also defensive driving to not just sit in people’s blind spots

You have to act like everyone wants to run you down, when on a bike

Close call 😂 bro

Pay attention

My TURP went ok, but 3+ weeks later the stream slowed, which turned out to be a stricture, that then required another operation. Now I have to self-catheterise weekly to keep the passageway open

Thanks!

I had the operation yesterday. They sent me home the same day. They'll take out the catheter six days afterward. Pain is not bad. Very little blood in the urine. Haven't seen any clots. They gave me three days of oxycodone and as of today I don't even need it. It's uncomfortable to sit, so I found that getting one of those horse-collar in-flight headrests helps a lot. It takes the pressure off the middle and distributes it to my butt cheeks where there's no pain. As for bowel movements, there are some good tips below.

Thanks for the follow-up. I leave in about 15 minutes for my TURP surgery at 5:45 this morning. The perspective you provided is so very useful.

I am scheduled for turp next month so I greatly appreciate the video. Having had other surgeries, I am sure that this is way more good information than I will get from the Doctor or the Hospital!

Very informative video. Thanks for posting.

Had turp surgery 5yrs ago need the surgery again NOT GETTING TURP

Wicked lil bro🦾🗿

You should grab it above your head. So it will not hit you by accident.

May I ask what is your age?

Kudos to you for having the courage to inform - _I'm guessing_ - ALL of us here with BPH ar LUT's

Bro got knocked off clean

Helps having it on slope like you do as well lol

Bro got flunged by the bull 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Decent ride, but they twisted in one direction the whole time and the rider probably knew it did that.😮

Nice video! The water reminds me of when I kayaked on Otter Creek in 1979-80 in what is now a restricted area at Fort Knox in KY. There was a nice "sliding falls" almost at the put-in. I liked your center stand video, too!

I am about 2 1/2 weeks outside of my Terp surgery. I am having blood clots flow out and in a lot of pain. Is this normal for 2 1/2 weeks?

Nice video. How long after the TURP you hop on your motorcycle?

Had no residual negative effects after the TURP as I did with the PVP. Never needed a catheter afterward, nor had an averse issue with BMs. Burn 'pits' from the PVP done in '91 were still visible during the TURP done in 2022. The TURP also took care of a bleeding vericose vein in the prostate.

Welcome to thailand

I am almost three weeks post surgery since my TURP. I have had a slightly difficult time of it but overall I would say I am doing reasonably well. After not urinating except through a Catheter for almost sixteen months, I'm glad to be "peeing on my own" even though the stream right now is tainted with clots and mostly pink (I'm told that's normal) and most of the time not terribly strong. I am hoping that as time goes by my stream will get stronger and more steady, of course I don't know -
