http://www.PreOp.comPatient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFOYour doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate - or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.The urethra -- a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis -- passes through the prostate.In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include: * a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty * pain when urinating * weak urinary stream * infertility * and sexual dysfunction.To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

It occurs when cells of the prostate mutate and begin to multiply out of control. These cells may spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, especially the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms.Endothelins are proteins that constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. They are normally kept in balance by other mechanisms, but when they are over-expressed, they contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease.The ubiquitous distribution of endothelin peptides and receptors implicates its involvement in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes in the body. Among numerous diseases potentially occurring from endothelin dysregulation are: several types of cancer; cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage; arterial hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders; pain mediation Prostate Cancer &...
