Hi. I have acute bacterial prostatitis. I had a surgery (TURP, or transurethral resection of the prostate). However, some complications have occurred. I have problems with sexual function, following prostatitis surgery. What to do?

Hi. Yeah, many complications can happen, following prostatitis surgery. The most common complication after TURP surgery is blood in your urine. Some patients feel an urge to urinate, some have difficulties controlling urination. This is only a short-term problem. As recovery progresses, these conditions improve. I had TURP and I have a problem with sexual function too. My doctor told me that up to 30% of men experience problems with sexual functions, following prostatitis surgery. The most common side effect of TURP is dry climax, or retrograde ejaculation. Unfortunately, this is a long-term side effect. It causes sterility, but you can still enjoy sex.
