My foley catheter has become extremly painful lever since I did a round of IMRT back in March. My urologist is reluctant to intervene but the catheter has become so painful that he is considering a TURP so that I can possibly rid myself of the foley. After doing a bit of reasearch I read an article talking about Holep being the new gold standard for BPH but my urologist has no clinical experience with the Holep procedure. Should I seek a urologist who does Holep or is the TURP just as effective ?
