The prostate, which is found in every man, can increase in volume with age and cause health problems. Prostate hyperplasia occurs at a certain rate in every man with advancing age. In addition, it can occur with different clinics in every man.
Benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is completely different from prostate cancer. As the name suggests, benign prostate hyperplasia is not a type of cancer. In addition, there is no correlation between the enlargement of the prostate in volume and the development of cancer.

Prostate surgery turp
Planning should be done at the right time in prostate surgeries. Waiting for a long time in patients who need surgery will result in the urinary bladder losing its ability to function. In this case, it will not be possible to urinate even if the urinary tract is opened with surgery. Again, insufficient drainage of urine can lead to many problems, including damage to the kidneys. For this reason, surgery will be a suitable option in cases such as unresponsiveness to drug therapy, bleeding in the urine, frequently recurring urinary tract infections, bladder stones, complete closure of the urinary tract and development of side effects due to drugs.
How long does it take to recover from TURP surgery?
Today, prostate surgeries are performed almost completely closed from the urinary tract. Open surgery is performed very rarely. Recovery time in closed surgeries is much shorter than in open surgeries. Depending on the general health of the patient, regional or general anesthesia is used. While the operation time is between 1-2 hours, the hospitalization is 1 or 2 days. It is necessary to stay with the catheter for 1 day after the operation. The methods used in closed surgeries are different from each other, and monopolar, bipolar, plasma kinetic and laser systems are used. Laser prostate surgeries are an alternative to open surgery, especially in patients with large prostates.
Turp Risks
Although bleeding is one of the most common side effects of prostate surgery, blood transfusions are rarely needed. Necessary precautions must be taken for the risk of infection. Before the surgery, it should be seen that there is no growth in the urine culture test. In the first days after prostate surgery, there may be urinary incontinence problems, especially in the form of inability to grow. These problems are mostly self-correcting. Rarely, additional treatment is required for urinary incontinence.
Can a man get hard after prostate surgery?
One of the frequently confused issues is erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery. Erectile dysfunction that can be seen after prostate cancer surgery is not expected to be seen in benign prostate surgery. In prostate cancer, the prostate is completely removed, while in benign hyperplasia, the prostate is hollowed out from the inside. Since the prostate capsule will remain in place, the problem of erection cannot be seen. However, since the bladder neck will usually be opened in these surgeries, semen may not come out. In patients who do not want a child, semen mixing in the urine does not constitute a health problem.
