How to STIMULATE the bladder after TURP
by iplaygolf, Aug 26, 2008 03:46PM
I just completed a laser TURP for BPH - removing about 50% of a 125 CC Prostate. 6 days post op we removed the catheter (after injecting about 350cc) and the DR said - go pee. I could not void anything. We waited 4 hrs, still nothing... DR advises bladder muscle is non responsive. Inserted new (smaller thank God) catheter for 10 days when we will repeat the removal process. My question is, if this happens again, is there a drug or a procedure or something that can stimulate the detrusor muscle to squeeze? Or, do you believe I might have an issue that the sphincters are not opening? Any drug or procedure for this? He also said he may need to go back in and vaporize more prostate tissue - thoughts here?

My dad (89) was going to have TURP but his bladder's not functioning so we decided not to do that surgery yet - as you experienced, it won't help if his bladder isn't working,
Did you end up having another TURP and, if so/if not, did you regain bladder function? If so, how?
Thanks, would appreciate any info.
