Has anyone had the operation called turp?
Hans is going to be 'seen to' on the 20th of this month.
I think he is a bit worried about what the outcome could be.
There is the PM if you've had this op done, but don't want to talk about it on the open forum, I would like to know if anyone has been through it and what he can expect.
Me too, I have my 2nd yearly MRI scan soon, and I have been advised that it might be something to have done if the results are worse than last time, I did consider looking on YouTube, but I did that for the biopsy and nearly crapped mesen, but the reality was actually quite painless almost, more uncomfortable, I recall the doc saying the Turp was similar, but I may be mixed up.
Posted as I've not got the info you/I need, but would like to know more.
We have seen the videos and know what the medics say about the after effects, but first hand information from someone who has had it done is more reliable :grin2:
Since my hip op 1 year ago I have been having a bit of bother that was neither mentioned by the medics and can´t find anything on the internet, then again you know I am unique >
Right then here we go first off i was very nervous (apprehensive) i had an epidural which as you probably know Jan numbs you from the chest down,i didnt feel a thing.
I was kept in hospital for 2 nights with a catheter then turfed out,the surgeon did say for the next few weeks i would probably wish i hadnt had it done and he was right but thankfully it is getting better (im now peeing like a stallion).
Any questions just ask.

My poor boy (seventy eight) has had a catheter since February when he couldn´t pee at all. He was supposed to have the op ages ago, but they wouldn't do it because of a blood problem, plus he takes blood thinners and has a pacemaker, I won't go on :frown2: but he has seen a haematologist who has given them the ok to do the job.
One reason, he won't end up like Hans, unable to pee at all and in great pain. It's early days yet Kev, hopefully by Christmas Dave will be able to fill his boots without actually filling his boots >
I bet you wish you had the bladder of a dog.
Motley went out last night at 11 pm for his last pee, this morning it was raining so nose out of the door, just,
about turn "You can go out there if you like, Motley not". the rain eased at 1pm so tried him again and almost had to boot him out, did what he had to do which wasn't a lot, took all of 1 1/2 mins and back in.
Yeah< but then I'd have to deal with the fascination with trees, lampposts, cyclists and postmans legs, not to mention sniffing stuff all the time, and that licking thing they do is a real no no.
I have female hormone injections every 3 months, at a cost of £400 a pop, and a PSA test once a year, My oncologist said if the PSA result gets to 6 or above come back otherwise bugger off.
My last test last month was .04 so it is matter of living with prostate cancer, it's just the hot flushes with the female hormones, but I just throw the bed clothes off for a bit then back under when it passes.. The side effects are my knees are a problem and some of my other joints, the doc said what would you rather have this or a full blown Prostate cancer.. Err no contest!.
Sorry to keep you waiting, but its been a busy day,
I also had to sit and listen to the PM Mrs May.
Urgent visit to the urologist this morning because he has an infection that the anti bionic was not getting rid of, turns out he has 3 bugs, 2 the anti biotic was dealing with, but the 3rd has to have a different anti biotic.
Asked if it was wise to go ahead and was told as long as he has no fever they will still do the op.
Tomorrow is the pre-op procedure, then next Tuesday the op.
How are things with you, as well as peeing like a stallion what about the other function? :wink2: Hans is hoping his functioning might return.:grin2: I told him it's been missing for too many years I don't think it can be found :frown2:
What a carry on, appointment to be here at 10 am. He's done more waiting than being seen, now they tell him he must wait until 3.30 for an EGG I have sent him back to tell them it's now or they wait until he comes in on Tuesday. We have one and a half hours to home, it was -2c and foggy when we left this morning, I don't want to be driving after dark, which it will be after his ECG , because it may again be foggy.
