Frequently Asked Questions

Which TURP types are available?

The two primary types of TURP are monopolar and bipolar. Monopolar has a risk of hyponatremia, also known as "TUR syndrome," and uses non-conductive fluids. By using saline, Bipolar lowers that risk and permits longer surgery. Both have comparable rates of sexual side effects and symptom outcomes. Because of the safety benefits, UAE centres prefer bipolar when it is available.

What is the duration of the process?

For most men, surgery takes 45 to 60 minutes, though it may take longer for larger glands. About 60 minutes are spent in the theatre, including anesthesia and recuperation. Bipolar TURP reduces systemic risks, allowing for longer safe surgery.

In the United Arab Emirates, who does TURP?

Consultant urologists who are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and frequently belong to BAUS perform TURP. Under supervision, trainees may participate in procedures. Prominent medical facilities preserve audit logs and results.

Can I pick the hospital or the surgeon I want?

Indeed. Subject to availability, patients can select their preferred hospital and even request a specific consultant. When making a referral, talk about your preferences with your doctor. Better collaborative decision-making is facilitated by choice. Medigence provides you with this choice through its platform.

Before TURP, can I obtain a second opinion?

Yes. You can request a referral to another specialist from your general practitioner or consultant. If there are doubts or divergent views regarding the diagnosis, it is advised. Selecting the best course of action—TURP, laser therapy, or less invasive options—is often aided by obtaining second opinions.

Are there any substitutes for TURP?

Yes, HoLEP, Greenlight laser, UroLift implants, Rezum steam, and TUMT are among the available options. Prostate size, patient comorbidities, and availability all influence the choice. While some alternatives may be less readily available, they may have fewer sexual side effects.

Will TURP impact my desire to have children or my ability to conceive?

Since semen enters the bladder through retrograde ejaculation, natural conception is unlikely. Fertility is impacted, but orgasm is unaffected. If fertility is desired, talk about backup plans before surgery. Urine may be used to retrieve sperm after ejaculation.

What lifestyle changes promote healing after TURP?

To avoid straining, drink plenty of water, limit alcohol and caffeine initially, and follow a high-fibre diet. Walking gently speeds up recovery. To improve bladder control, do pelvic floor exercises. Until your urologist gives the all-clear, which usually comes after four weeks, refrain from heavy lifting and sexual activity.

Does TURP have an impact on sexual function?

65–75% of men experience retrograde ejaculation, which reroutes semen into the bladder. This affects fertility but does not interfere with orgasms. About 7–10% of patients have erectile dysfunction, which is frequently transient. Counselling and ED medication are available as forms of treatment.
