Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and reports that you have posted it appears that you have undergone TURP for enlarged Prostate in April 2014.and now has obstructed voiding urinary symptoms with nocturia.
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) How is your urine flow ?Is it weak or normal ?
2) Do you have to strain to pass urine ?
3) Are you diabetic?
The symptoms that you have are mostly due to narrowing of urethral passage (Stricture Urethra) which is very common after TURP and is due to instrumentation .
The test suggested (RGU and MCU)by your Urologist are to confirm the diagnosis of Stricture Urethra.
Please go ahead nad get these tests done .
Further treatment will be decided by your Urologist depending on the results of these tests .If found to have stricture urethra you will need to undergo endoscopic procedure to incise the stricture (Optical Urethrotomy).This will help to widen the narrowed urethra and to relieve your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
