I just want to tell some man that I finally got a TURP procedure (google it) and, after many years of struggling with a sensitive and troublesome bladder, I am now very comfortable and can hold my urine for HOURS. The procedure was quick, easy, very short recovery and I wish now that I had had it done a long time ago but I was scared to "loose" my "manhood".
I messed around with my bladder and almost contaminated my kidneys after the bladder filled up to the point where it was cutting off the blood circulation to my left leg - which alerted my doctor to a need to drain my bladder via a catheter and right after that, I went in for the TURP. So, if some doctor recommends a TURP for you, GET IT!  good luck, ] jim

I will have to look that up. I know I have to go frequently but I do not know if it is prostate of not. I kind of suspect it is. I usually expel quite a bit of fluid though when I go so I am confused. I do have to go a lot though.
I am glad it worked so good for you.

I'm in the same situation. I'm 37 yrs old and I go to the bathroom more than a ruptured hose. I was until recently taking some medications to delay my urination urgency, but will look into the TURP. What does this procedure affect the sex drive. I still want to make love to my wife and live a normal life post surgery.

So how do you even know you need to have something like TURP? I mean, surely they have to check you for an enlarged prostate and I can't even get my doctor to do that. Best I can tell, they won't even check your prostate any more until you're dying of prostate cancer.

Update, I requested for my PCP to refer me to a specialist urologist. For now I'm waiting until some bloodwork comes back. My doctor didn't agreed I should have TURP as he said I was too young to have such a condition, but he does agree to refer me to the urologist.
