Surgically removing an enlarged prostate, a procedure known as a prostatectomy, can have several effects on a person’s health and well-being. The most common surgical procedures for treating an enlarged prostate include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), open prostatectomy, and minimally invasive procedures like laser surgery.
One of the primary reasons for removing an enlarged prostate is to alleviate urinary symptoms caused by the obstruction of the urethra. After the surgery, many men experience improved urinary flow and a reduction in symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and frequent urination. Surgical removal of an enlarged prostate aims to relieve symptoms associated with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
This may include a reduction in urgency, a decreased frequency of nighttime urination (nocturia), and a decreased feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. While the primary goal of prostate surgery is to address urinary symptoms, there is a potential risk of erectile dysfunction.
The risk varies depending on the surgical technique used and the individual›s overall health. It’s important for individuals considering prostate surgery to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives with their healthcare provider. The decision to undergo surgery should be based on a thorough evaluation of the individual’s overall health, the severity of symptoms, and the potential impact on s3xual function and quality of life.
