Please provide few more details
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone surgery of TURP for enlarged prostate 4 months back and still facing problem of urgency for urination
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Did you have urgency for urination before surgery of TURP .?
2) What was the size of prostate ? What was the post void residual urine volume (PVR)reported on Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen done before surgery ?
2) Are you diabetic? if yes is it well controlled ?
3) Does it embarrass your routine life and do you dribble out urine in inner wares at any time during sensation of urgency and unable to reach to toilet urgently?
The urgency for urination is mostly due to what is called as Over Active Bladder (OAB) which if you had before surgery too ,will not go away even after surgery for TURP.
Get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
Take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like
Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
Take anti muscuranic drug like Darifenasin once daily .You may need to take it for 6 months and review again .
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.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback .
You had undergone TURP for BEP with stone in the bladder four and half weeks back and have frequency for urination and incomplete emptying of bladder .
During surgery of TURP Urologist resects your enlarged prostate which creates a raw area .This raw area causes irritation and is the reason for irritative symptoms .It takes threemonths for complete healing of the raw area .
Get your urine test and urine culture done to rule out UTI which is also the common factor for irritative bladder symptoms .
Till the then take antibiotics as per urine culture report along with bladder anti spasmodic like Oxybutinine twice daily
Do not worry these are common problems after surgery of TUPRP that evry body has ton pass through which gets resolved over a period of time frame of 3-4 months .
Thanks and Regards.
