Surgery to relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) — restoring comfortable, normal urinary flow.
At a glance
Overview
An enlarged prostate can squeeze the urethra, causing a weak stream, frequent urination and incomplete emptying. When medication no longer controls it, surgery removes or reshapes the obstructing tissue.
Modern techniques such as TURP and laser enucleation are minimally invasive, with most men noticing a clear improvement soon after.
Transurethral resection — the long-established, reliable approach.
Laser enucleation, well-suited to larger prostates.
Smaller targeted options for selected cases.

Understanding the procedure
What the surgery addresses
For an enlarged prostate (BPH), the surgeon removes or reduces the overgrown prostate tissue (shown in terracotta) that is squeezing the urethra and obstructing flow from the bladder. Often done with minimally-invasive techniques through the urethra, it relieves the urinary symptoms that disrupt sleep and daily life.
Weak flow, frequent or urgent urination, getting up at night, and incomplete emptying caused by an enlarged prostate.
Frequently through the urethra (no external incision) using techniques such as TURP or laser, depending on your case.
Spinal or general anaesthetic. A short catheter period after surgery is normal as things settle.

Your recovery
Recovery is gradual but steady. Here's a realistic picture of the typical path — your own timeline depends on your health, age and procedure.
A catheter helps drain the bladder while the area settles; this is routine and removed before long.
Flow improves as swelling subsides. Plenty of fluids; gentle activity only.
Once flow is comfortable and the surgeon is satisfied, most travel home.
Urinary symptoms continue to improve; normal activity resumes gradually.
Common questions
It is carried out under spinal or general anaesthesia, so it isn't painful at the time. A catheter is used briefly afterwards, and most men notice clearly improved flow within days of its removal.
