Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate - or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.

It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.

The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.
The urethra -- a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis -- passes through the prostate.

In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include: * a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty * pain when urinating * weak urinary stream * infertility * and sexual dysfunction.

To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.

TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.
It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

How the hell is this related to family guy?

[abumahalah]

For the one who got upset from the metal & this operation, I want to say that the pain which occur from enlargement of prostate gland is more than this procedure . And complications of the enlargement are more bad than you think . You know , some patients come to the surgeons & ask them : please you do whatever just relieve my fucking pain bcoz I can't void , I can't sleep , I can't eat or drink so for god sake take it out .... I wish that we will not get prostate gland enlargement ......... Go
