Does Undergoing BPH Surgery Cause Infertility?
my husband (33 years old) has been admitted to hospital for BPH surgery following a urinary flow test this morning. Is this normal for his age and also what effect will this have on fertility? will he have a catheter for a long period of time after surgery?

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Following prostate surgery ,
- There will be retrograde ejaculation so there is highly unlikely possibility
of conceiving because semen does not come outside .
Must discuss thoroughly with the doctor for the same .
- Catheter is kept usually for 3 - 5 days post operative period depending
upon the preferance of the urologist .
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further assistance .
Regards .
