You will be given medicine before surgery so you don't feel pain. You may get one of the following:
The surgeon will insert a scope through the tube that carries urine from your bladder out of the penis. This tube is called the urethra. A special cutting tool is placed through the scope. It is used to remove the inside part of your prostate gland using electricity. After surgery, you will have a small tube, called a Foley catheter, in your bladder to remove urine. The catheter will be removed within 1 to 3 days for most people.
Sometimes there are things you can do that may positively affect your outcome. Here are some examples. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your provider.
To get the best quality of care, be informed! Don’t be afraid to ask for a clearer explanation or to ask questions. Consider these topics when talking with your provider.
