TURP or HoLEP?
Both open the urine channel from the inside. TURP works well for small and medium prostates. For large prostates, or men on blood thinners, HoLEP is usually better because it removes more tissue with less bleeding.
Recovery after TURP
A catheter with bladder washout stays for one to three days. Burning and some blood in the urine can occur for a few weeks. Drink plenty of fluids, avoid constipation and heavy lifting for four weeks, and keep the follow-up visit.
