Prostatic urethral lift (UroLift) A prostatic urethral lift (also known as a UroLift) is recommended as an alternative to having a TURP or HoLEP. A surgeon inserts implants that hold the enlarged prostate away from the urethra so that the urethra is not blocked.

Read More »There are several alternatives to a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Your options will depend on how severe your symptoms are and which treatments are available. If you do not have a TURP, lifestyle changes such as limiting how much alcohol you drink and taking regular exercise may be recommended to improve your symptoms. This means you will not receive any immediate treatment but will have the option of having a TURP in future if your symptoms get worse. If you have an enlarged prostate but don't find your symptoms particularly troublesome, you may decide to just wait and keep an eye on your symptoms.

Read More »Other than silicone oil, the two other popular catheter lubricants are K-Y jelly and hydrophilic coatings. They are both effective lubricants. However, K-Y jelly may gather at the urethral opening as one inserts the catheter, which some users find undesirable.
Intermittent catheter users need to catheterize 5-6 times a day on average, which involves inserting a foreign object into the bladder through the urethra. The urethra is a thin tube that acts as a pathway for urine to exit the body from the bladder, and it is easily irritated or injured by friction or force. Catheters that have not been sufficiently lubricated can create little tears along the urethra, causing urethral pain, a burning sensation during urination, and even bloody urine. In some cases, if the catheter is not lubricated enough and the person forces the catheter in, the catheter can create a false passage—penetrating out of the urethra wall and creating a new path. Therefore, it is important to apply sufficient lubrication and neverforce a catheter in. If you feel burning and pain after catheter removal or during insertion, consider if your catheter has been properly lubricated. Repeated occurrences of urethral trauma can lead to urethral strictures (narrowing of the urethra as a result of inflammation or urethral scarring), which can make catheterization difficult and leads to further injuries. Therefore, having proper lubrication is paramount in ensuring the safety and comfort of catheterization.
