About this treatment
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a common urological procedure performed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). During the procedure, excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow is removed using a specialized instrument inserted through the urethra. TURP helps improve urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, and frequent urination.
