Hello
Thanks for query.
Incontinence of urine after TURP is mostly due to one of the following factors
1) UTI
2) Uncontrolled Diabetes.
3) Thermal Injury to sphincter of urethra which controls urination.

Following measures will help to cure his problem
1)Ensure that his diabetes is well controlled .
2)Get his urine culture done so that UTI can be controlled by taking appropriate antibiotic.
3) Ensure to drink ore water.
4) Perineal exercises to strengthen urethral Sphincter.
Normally this gets cured within 3-4 months ..
Consult operating Urologist for further help and guidance.
