Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, your benign prostatic hyperplasia has caused urinary retention multiple times. When it enlarges to a certain extent, it can also lead to difficulties in catheterization and is prone to urinary tract infections. Minimally invasive surgery of the prostate (transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP, is a type of minimally invasive surgery) differs from open surgery. This procedure causes less harm to the body and results in less bleeding. Considering your age and the frequency of recurrence, it is recommended that you undergo minimally invasive surgery, which is beneficial for your body. The risk of minimally invasive surgery is much lower compared to open surgery. Regarding postoperative changes, they are highly related to the surgeon's skill level. It is advised that you choose a minimally invasive procedure at a facility with advanced technology.
