I had the TURP laser and am GLAD I did!
SO much better urination and almost NO urine retention immediately after urinating (and it's "urinating," not peeing, for cripe's sakes - you're not a 5 year-old, are you?)
As for the reduced ejaculating, GET OVER IT, for heaven's sakes! So, you can't "blow your load" any longer. Who friggin' cares! It's less of a mess, too. The orgasm is still there; be happy with that.
I had the operation in 2009 and I don't remember the Doctor telling me anything about it effecting my sex life. I wasn't sexually active at the time so I never noticed anything now that I am I actually was referred to another Doctor because I didn't understand why I couldn't ejaculate any more. Now I know what the problem is It has caused depression etc. I would never have had the operation had I known the problems it causes.
I had the operation done about 2009 and I agree entirely with what you have said, I am also very angry with the Doctor because enough information was not given to me. Had I have known the outcome I would never have had the operation.
He or she may not give you the time of day, but I bet they kindly take your money.
I had suffered 2 yrs with bph.....i would be at work and all of a sudden i was all wet and didnt feel myself pee. I was working 50 to 60 hrs a week, eventually i was let go. I went for treatment eventually because i had to wear 10 diapers a day. I lost everything and became homeless and wore a catheter for 1 yr. Then I had TURP.
I changed my life drastically. I no longer pee uncontrollably...my kidneys are normal again......my bladder that once had a liter of pee constantly in it that made me sick and nauseous is emptying normally again..and no cancer....and i truly feel heathy and young and my orgasms feel great.
I am 55 yo..got a job and soon will be getting my own place again.
I cant thank my urologist enough, without the surgery I would have probably ended up with kidney failure or severe infection and death.
If a partner cant accept the fact that i produce little or no semen they are not worth being part of my life.
Well, I had the procedure done 3 times. The 1st. lasted 1 week. I started to bleed real bad. The Dr. said meet him at the ER. I had emergency surgery and the procedure was done again. About 10 years later I had to do it for the 3rd time. That was 1978. No more sex. I am kicking 80 and still miss it. I have been married over 58 years to the greatest little lady God ever created. Found out SEX really is'nt all there is in life. It's really loving one another.
As for the person that said he didn't want to live?
Stop feeling sorry for yourself! Life goes on_____!
