Advanced TURP Surgery for BPH Relief by Dr. Yamen Al Ahmad, Consultant Urologist & Men’s Health Specialist
Understanding TURP
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a well-established surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by removing excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow, helping relieve symptoms such as weak stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
The procedure is performed through the urethra without external incisions. Under the care of Dr. Yamen Al Ahmad, Consultant Urologist and men’s health specialist with over 20 years of experience, TURP is carried out using advanced techniques to improve safety, precision, and recovery. TURP remains a highly effective option for moderate to severe BPH when medications or minimally invasive treatments are insufficient.

Under the expert care of Dr. Yamen Al Ahmad, consultant urologist and men’s health specialist, patients benefit from precise surgery that improves urine flow, reduces symptoms, and enhances daily comfort and quality of life.

A short catheter period, hydration, and follow-up visits support recovery, bladder control, and long-term symptom relief.
