Symptom score, flow rate and residual volume, PSA, prostate size on ultrasound or MRI, and a camera check of the bladder where needed.

What is TURP?
A camera-guided operation that removes the part of the prostate blocking your flow
TURP removes the inner part of the prostate through the urethra, with no external cut, so urine can flow freely again. It remains the most reliable operation for a significantly enlarged prostate.
Mr Krishnan has performed prostate surgery since becoming a consultant in 2008 and offers UroLift for men who want a less invasive option — so the choice is made on what suits you, not what is available.
Conditions TURP treats
Enlarged prostate (BPH)
Weak stream, straining, frequency and night-time trips. Diagnosed by symptom score, flow test and scan.
Condition page
Urinary retention
Sudden or gradual inability to empty the bladder, often ending in a catheter. TURP removes the cause.
Condition page
Recurrent infections from poor emptying
Urine left behind breeds infection; restoring flow breaks the cycle.
Condition page
Bladder stones from obstruction
Stones that form in a bladder that never empties; removed at the same operation.
