How long will it take for me to recover from a TURP operation?

[Jimmy long]

I have to go have a TURP operation

For the squeamish, look away, for everyone else see https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/transurethral-resection-of-the-prostate-turp/

Interested to know from others that have had this how long I will be out of action?

I'm not sure we're best-placed to answer that.
You should be questioning your doctor. A lot.

Yeah, doc said 4-6 weeks, but was wondering what experience others had

Have you looked at a Urolift instead, seems to have less side effects but only works on 100cc sized prostate maximum.

Good luck with the op mate, I hear that they have improved the process a lot more now.

I suffer from BPH but thankfully has not got to the op stage yet.

It usually takes between 3 and 4 weeks to fully recover from a TURP.

It usually takes between three and six weeks babe.
