How long should I stay for Prostate?
You should stay approximately 10 days to complete a whole process. On your arrival day, you should stay in your hotel to relax from a long flight and have a surgery on the following day. Normally, Prostate will require 5-7 nights stay in the hospital. Post operative check up will be done 7 days after the surgery.

How is surgery performed?
Prostate requires general or spinal anesthesia. A cystoscope is inserted into the urethra thorough the penis and up into the bladder. The bladder is filled with a solution to let surgeon have a clearly vision of its interior. The surgeon inserts a surgical loop through the cystoscope to remove the portion of the prostate that has become enlarged. A catheter is left in the bladder to pass urine, and to flush the bladder removing accumulated blood clots.

What is the post-surgical care?
The catheter left in your bladder may make you feel the urge to pass urine. Sometimes a small blood clot can block the catheter. The catheter will be removed when the urine begins to run clear; this is usually within 2-3 days. When you first start to urinate, you may feel a stinging sensation and your urine may be cloudy. You may also have leaks or dribbles of urine, but this usually goes away within 24 hours.
