I Had A TURP In January 2017. I Have No
Question: I had a TURP in January 2017. I have no bladder pain, my stream is reasonably large but I can only hold a cup of urine before having to urinate. I get up every hour to hour and a half to urinate. I am so frustrated at not being able to get enough sleep, I don't know if this is caused by a thickened bladder wall, or weak muscles, or missing muscles or ???? I had a cystoscopy in January of 2019 and the urinary tract was wide open, Even 6 months to a year after the original TURP I could only hold a cup of urine before needing to urinate.

Brief Answer:
Can be due to weak muscle.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The inability to hold urine after TURP can be due to weak muscles. This can also be a nerve related issue. Pelvic floor exercises and multivitamin supplements can help to some extent . You can consult your urologist for further evaluation .
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.

Your answer is not very helpful. There must be some way to narrow the situation down. Where do I learn about pelvic floor exercises? What do you mean by nerve related issues? If I do pelvic floor exercises am I in danger of making a possible thickened bladder worse? Some detailed instructions would be helpful in order to try and sort out my situation. My Urologist just said that Flo-max probably wouldn't do much. I take a high quality multi-vitamin.

I see you are an Orthopedic Surgeon. Would it not be more appropriate for me to be communicating with a Urologist?
