Hello Lgv,   Online sites are wonderful resources for getting the information you need to ask all the right questions, they can not take the place of your doctor's solid medical advice. If you have a concern, you should talk it out with your doctor.   Here is some information that you might find helpful when it's time to speak to your doctor. The TURP procedure is is Transurethral resection of the prostate. You can read about the TURP procedure and recommendations for having this surgery here. There are also pictures available to see the before and after affects of having this surgery here. There is also a good video here about traditional treatments for enlarged prostate.   I hope this information helps somewhat. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!Vicki M
