Experiencing difficulty urinating, frequent night-time urination, or a weak urine stream? These may be signs of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)—a common condition in men over 50 due to prostate gland enlargement. At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert urologists offer Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)—a highly effective, minimally invasive prostate surgery that relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
Whether you’re considering your first treatment or have not found relief with medications like alpha-blockers, our team is here to help with advanced endoscopic prostate surgery in a comfortable, caring environment.What is TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)?
TURP is a surgical treatment for BPH (non-cancerous prostate enlargement). It involves removing parts of the enlarged prostate that obstruct urine flow. A specialized instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra (no external cuts), and excess prostate tissue is removed using electric current. This transurethral surgery improves bladder emptying, reduces urinary retention, and restores urine flow, making it one of the most trusted procedures for prostate flow improvement worldwide.Why Do Men Need TURP Surgery?
With age, especially after 50, the prostate gland tends to enlarge, potentially compressing the urethra and blocking urine flow. This leads to:- Difficulty urinating
- Frequent urination at night (nocturia)
- Weak or interrupted urine stream
- Urinary urgency or hesitancy
- Post-void dribbling
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Bladder outlet obstruction
Common Causes of Prostate Gland Enlargement (BPH)
- Age-related hormonal changes
- Genetics and family history
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity and poor diet
- Chronic urinary tract infections
- Low testosterone-to-estrogen ratio
TURP Diagnosis and Evaluation
Our urology consultation begins with a detailed review of symptoms and may include:- Digital rectal exam (DRE)
- PSA test for prostate
- Ultrasound of the prostate and bladder
- Urine flow studies
- Cystoscopy or bladder scan
- Blood tests to assess kidney function
TURP Procedure: What to Expect
- Performed under spinal or general anesthesia
- Takes 60–90 minutes
- No external incision – access through the urethra
- Hospital stay: 1–2 days
- Catheter placement for 1–3 days post-surgery

Most patients stay for 1–2 days and return home with a catheter for 1–3 days.
Is TURP painful?

What’s the recovery time after TURP?
Most resume daily activities in a week, though strenuous work should be avoided for 2–3 weeks.
