i had TURP IN june and have had RE EVERY SINCE TILL LAST WEEKEND . im wondering if my prostate has swollen back up closing the urethra again ? has this happened to anyone else here ?
No, it’s a “normal” result of that proceedure. Something like 80 percent of the time? My Uro recommended a TURP and didn’t even mention it as a risk.
How are you symptoms otherwise?
I think he is saying he is now ejaculating normal
No, the OP mentions RE in his message so I think it’s now Retrograde?
Uncklefester is correct, he had RE for several months, but now he’s ejaculating normally. I’m thinking that the upper sphincter is working more like it should. Perhaps from the healing process?
how are your urinary symptoms and did the RE bum you out?
I had TURP in June 2017. My symptoms are all gone. Bu RE stays.
correct
im also on flomax which causes RE
of course it bummed me out !
more my wife than me tho .
i still pee between 200-400 CC , so it doesnt seem like im retaining .
im just concerned somethings wrong
how negative is the impact of the RE?
does it bum you out enough that you wish you hadn’t had it done?
yes
I used flomax for a kidney stone and RE effects darn near made me suicidal. I had no idea what RE was or how it happened to me. It totally destroyed the sensation of my climax. It was someone ruining my sneeze but about 100 times worse.
If anyone wants to know what RE is like, try flomax and see if you get it. Take it for a few days to really let it kick in. I had to stop taking it for 2-3 days before it was out of my system enough that my orgasms returned to normal.
no big difference of feeling but with total dry ejaculation you are still missing something!
