Transurethral resection of prostate is an effective surgical procedure that reduces the urinary symptoms associated with BPH. Your doctor can recommendTURP if your urinary symptoms are moderate to severe, and if your symptoms could not be eased using available medications. TURP can be used to treat the complications that come from being unable to completely empty your bladder. These include frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney failure resulting from loss of normal kidney function, bladder stones, incontinence (inability to control urination), and recurring blood in the urine.
