What Causes Burning Sensation And Frequent Urge To Urinate Post TURP Surgery?
I had TURP surgery one month ago. The bleeding and dribbling have subsided significantly. However, I now have burning and feeling that I must urinate frequently, much like I did before TURP. Is this normal after TURP? if so, when can I expect this discomfort go away?

Hello dear,
TURP is operative surgery done in prostate enlargement that obstruct your urine flow and prostate inflammation.
After surgery, surface cavity of prostate take time to heal around 6 week to 10 week.
So, burning sensation and frequent urge normally occur up to 6 week after TURP.
Please note following post operative symptoms will occur:
1. Urinary disturbance: urgency, frequency, nocturia, burning sensation, reduced flow
2. Bladder control problem
3. reduced semen after ejaculation
4. Bowel movement linked to urination
5. Weakness
Take following advice to overcome this:
1. Mild exercise like brisk walking
2. Proper rest that help in faster healing of prostate
3. Take all medicine that is given postoperatively
4. Drink extra fluid that help to overcome the fluid that loss in surgery
5. If you have more pain: Take tablet diclofenac 500 mg orally to reduce it.
So do not worry. follow above advice and you will be fine.
