TURP, which stands for transurethral resection of the prostate, is a very effective surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. In this procedure, a doctor uses a tool inserted through the penis to remove extra prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow, helping with problems like a weak stream, urgency, and not being able to fully empty the bladder after medicine hasn’t worked.

It’s a low-key procedure performed using a camera-tipped resectoscope and an electrified loop, usually involving a brief hospital stay followed by a day or two with a catheter—though potential side effects include retrograde ejaculation.
