Prostate<\/strong> is a gland present in every men and it is bound to increase in size & volume with increasing age. When it increases to a size & volume to cause symptoms, the disease is called BPH <\/strong>(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). The increase in size of prostate can cause obstruction to the passage of urine ( difficulty in passing urine) and sometimes it can cause irritation with feeling to go for urination every hour especially during night (frequency).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most patients with BPH are initially treated with medications. However, a lot of patients are not able to tolerate medications for BPH due to their side-effects. If medications fail to relieve symptoms of BPH, most patients are advised to undergo Surgery by Urologists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most commonly performed surgery in India is Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)<\/strong>. However, most surgeries are associated with some potential risks. Lot of patients fear to get operated because of many risks involved with TURP Surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am writing this blog for a specific reason to clarify the most important doubt that comes in the mind of a patient suffering from enlarged prostate (BPH). Lot of patients come to me and asks about the best method to treat their prostate problems. These are the patients who have tried various medications for sometime and finally advised surgery by their urologists. I would like to say that \u201cNo one treatment fits all\u201d<\/strong>. Some may benefit with medications and few may also need  urgent TURP surgery especially those who present with acute retention of urine (100% block of urine). However, most patients fall in the category where they can choose from multiple available treatment options. TURP is the most commonly offered treatment surgery in India. If TURP had no risks or complication associated with it, then I would say all men with enlarged prostate (BPH) can go for it. But, the truth is not so. There are many risks and complications that are associated with TURP Surgery, which I have tried to explain below. Because of this complications, it is not easy for the patients and their family members to opt for TURP. Please go over carefully through the  below enlisted complications that may happen if a patient undergoes TURP surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
