Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) Treatment in India

About Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

TURP is a minimally invasive procedure to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Using a scope inserted through the urethra, the surgeon removes excess prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow, without any external incisions.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Weak or interrupted urine stream
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Urinary tract infections

When You Should Seek Treatment

TURP is recommended for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate that have not improved with medication, or when complications such as urinary retention or recurrent infections occur.

How the Treatment Works

  • Performed under spinal or general anesthesia
  • A scope is passed through the urethra, with no external incision
  • Excess prostate tissue is trimmed away using an electric loop or laser
  • A catheter is placed temporarily to allow healing
  • Procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes

Recovery & Hospital Stay

  • 1-2 days hospital stay
  • Catheter usually removed within 1-3 days
  • Improvement in urinary flow noticed soon after catheter removal
  • Most patients resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks
  • Full recovery typically within 4-6 weeks
