Prostate Removal Surgery in Ahmedabad

At Tirtham Surgical Hospital on Science City Road, prostate removal surgery in Ahmedabad for an enlarged prostate centres on TURP, a keyhole procedure done through the urethra, with no external cut, that removes the obstructing tissue and restores your urine flow. Dr. Alpesh Patel (MS) and team treat this discreetly and honestly, medicines first. Below is a clear guide to the common prostate problems, when surgery helps, and what it involves.

The three common prostate problems

The prostate can cause three main problems — and telling them apart matters, because they're treated very differently.

This page is about the enlarged (benign) prostate and its surgery; prostate cancer has its own dedicated page.

Is an enlarged prostate cancer?

No, this is the worry most men carry in, so it's worth being clear: BPH (an enlarged prostate) and prostate cancer are different conditions, and having an enlarged prostate does not mean you have cancer. They can, however, cause overlapping urinary symptoms, so part of the assessment is simply to rule cancer out, usually with a PSA blood test and a physical (rectal) examination, and further tests only if those raise a concern. Getting checked turns worry into a clear answer.

Symptoms of an enlarged prostate

As the prostate enlarges, it squeezes the urethra running through it and obstructs the flow. Typical symptoms:

• A weak or interrupted stream, and straining to start,
• Frequent urination, especially waking at night (nocturia),
• A feeling of not emptying the bladder fully, and dribbling afterward,
• A sudden or urgent need to go.

Some men also get blood in the urine, or complications like recurrent infections or bladder stones. If you suddenly can't pass urine at all (acute retention), that's a painful emergency see below.

How prostate problems are diagnosed

A Prostate Removal Doctor Ahmedabad assesses an enlarged prostate with your symptom history and a few targeted tests: a digital rectal examination (DRE) to feel the prostate's size and texture, a urine test (for infection), a PSA blood test (raised levels can reflect enlargement, inflammation or cancer so it's interpreted in context), and a urinary flow test and post-void residual (ultrasound) to see how well you empty. For fuller assessment, an ultrasound of the prostate, a voiding diary, or a cystoscopy (a look inside the urethra and bladder) may be used, and a prostate biopsy only if cancer is excluded. These tell the surgeon whether medicines will do or surgery is needed.

Do you need surgery, or will medicines help?

Most men with BPH never need an operation — this is the honest, reassuring part.

Surgery isn't the first step for an enlarged prostate; it's for symptoms that medicines can't control, or complications that need the obstruction removed.

The surgical options led by TURP

When surgery is needed, there are several minimally invasive options the right one depends mainly on the size of the prostate.

For most men, a Prostate Removal Surgeon Ahmedabad performs a TURP, a well-established, keyhole procedure with a strong track record of relieving symptoms and improving flow. It removes only the obstructing part of the gland (not the whole prostate), through the natural urinary passage.

Will surgery affect sex and ejaculation?

Honesty matters here. The commonest effect of TURP is retrograde ejaculation at orgasm, semen flows backward into the bladder instead of out (a "dry orgasm"). It's harmless and passed painlessly in the next urine, but it affects fertility, so it matters if you're planning children discuss this and options beforehand. Importantly, TURP usually does not cause erectile dysfunction (unlike some cancer surgery), and orgasm sensation is generally preserved. Ejaculation-preserving options (like UroLift) exist for selected men worth asking about if this is a priority.

When it's urgent

Most prostate problems are dealt with in a planned way, but two situations need prompt care. Acute urinary retention suddenly being unable to pass urine, with a painful, full bladder is an emergency needing a catheter to relieve it, then treatment of the cause. And an enlarged prostate causing recurrent infections, bladder stones, or effects on the kidneys needs timely surgery to protect them. If you can't pass urine and your bladder is painfully full, seek urgent care.

Recovery after prostate surgery

After TURP, most men stay in hospital for one to three days with a catheter in place to drain the bladder and flush it while it heals; the catheter usually comes out within a few days. It's normal to have some blood in the urine and urinary urgency or frequency for a couple of weeks as the area heals this settles. Most men return to light activity within a couple of weeks, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for a few weeks, and notice a much-improved urine flow. You'll get clear guidance on fluids, activity and what to expect.

What prostate removal surgery costs in Ahmedabad

Cost depends mainly on the technique and the size of the prostate. As a general market range in Ahmedabad, TURP for an enlarged prostate runs roughly ₹60,000–₹1,50,000, with laser (HoLEP) and very large glands at the higher end, plus pre-procedure tests. These are market figures, not a fixed Tirtham price. Your cost depends on your prostate and the approach and BPH surgery is generally covered by cashless mediclaim.
