Transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP ) is the partial prostate removal surgery, reserved for men suffering from benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Its realization improves both the symptomatology connected to this morbid condition (difficulty in urination, weak or intermittent urine flow, nocturia, etc.) and the quality of life of sick people.
But what exactly are the benefits that TURP can guarantee?
First of all, the patient has to strain much less to urinate and no longer feels the recurring need to go to the bathroom; this guarantees, unlike what happened before the intervention, the possibility of carrying out any daily activity without the worry of having to always be in the vicinity of a toilet.
Therefore, he feels he has more control over the flow of urine, that he no longer has to go to the bathroom so many times at night and that he has more force in expelling urine.
Finally, it can completely empty the bladder, so it suffers less from urine leakage, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, etc.
