TUIP is a minimally invasive procedure for men whose urine flow is blocked by a tight bladder neck and a relatively small prostate. Instead of removing prostate tissue, the surgeon makes one or two small cuts through the bladder neck and prostate using an instrument passed through the urethra.

The cuts relax the opening and allow urine to flow more freely. It is usually performed under spinal or general anaesthesia and may need a short period with a catheter. Patients seeking prostate treatment in Mumbai are assessed with a scan to confirm that their prostate is small enough for this approach.

How the Procedure Can Help

TUIP improves urine flow and reduces urgency and straining without removing tissue, so recovery is usually quick and the hospital stay short. Compared with larger prostate operations, it carries a lower chance of affecting ejaculation, which can matter for younger men.

Risks and Considerations

TUIP is not suitable for larger prostates, and symptoms may return over time, which sometimes requires a further procedure. Temporary burning, blood in the urine and urinary infection can occur, and some men experience backward ejaculation, although less often than after larger operations.
