Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. TURP removes part of the prostate to improve the flow of urine. Other options for prostate support include pumpkin seed oils for BPH relief.

After TURP, some men experience retrograde ejaculation (semen flows backward into the bladder instead of out the penis). Some men also experience erectile dysfunction. We’ll discuss these and other potential complications in this article.
