Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a condition involving an enlargement of the prostate gland in men. This is a benign condition that manifests several urinary symptoms, which can worsen if the patient does not seek timely treatment. The treatment for BPH generally consists of surgery. BPH surgeries are generally quite effective in treating the condition, relieving symptoms, and preventing further complications, given that you take complete care of yourself during the recovery period.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), and Laser therapy are some commonly performed surgeries for BPH. The recovery timeline of all these surgeries generally varies, but what’s important is that you make the necessary lifestyle modifications following the procedure to speed up your recovery. Instructions regarding diet, workout, and lifestyle changes are generally provided by the doctor. We have also covered some common lifestyle modifications that you must make after your BPH surgery further in this piece. But, let’s first look at the recovery timeline of BPH surgery.

Recovery after BPH surgery can vary depending on the type of surgery performed, the individual’s overall health, and a couple of other factors. Here’s a general timeline of recovery after BPH surgery:
Making dietary changes after BPH surgery, along with medical management prescribed by the doctor can help you boost your recovery and avoid post-surgical complications. A healthy diet can complement medical treatment and promote overall recovery and prostate health in men.
Staying well-hydrated after BPH surgery is very important. It can help with bladder function and healing after BPH surgery and also help you maintain your overall health. Make it a habit to drink ample water throughout the day to stay absolutely hydrated. Also, limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, as they can irritate the bladder and aggravate urinary symptoms after surgery.
There are several foods that may irritate the bladder and cause the urinary symptoms to become severe. These bladder irritants generally include citrus fruits, tomatoes, carbonated beverages, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods and artificial sweeteners. Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods and try to avoid or limit those that worsen your symptoms.
A diet low in saturated and trans fats can help promote your overall well-being. Include more lean protein, such as poultry, fish, beans, and tofu, and limit consumption of high-fat meats, processed foods, fried foods, and full-fat dairy products in your diet. Also, incorporate healthy fats in your diet which you can get from nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil. But this must be in moderation.
A lot of people experience constipation after BPH surgery, typically due to pain medications and decreased physical activity. Therefore, including more fibre-rich foods in your diet, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts, can help promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation. However, make sure you consult your healthcare provider before increasing your fibre intake, as excessive fiber consumption can also worsen urinary symptoms in some cases.
Protein is essential for tissue repair and healing after surgery. Incorporate adequate protein sources in your diet, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, nuts, and seeds. Consult a registered dietitian for individualized protein recommendations based on your specific needs.
Eating a balanced and varied diet that includes a variety of foods from all food groups can help ensure you are getting the necessary nutrients for optimal recovery. Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy or dairy alternatives in your meals and snacks.
You should note that you must always consult with your healthcare provider before making any major changes to your diet especially during your recovery period and ask them when you can resume your normal diet.
When it comes to exercising or working out after BPH surgery, it is important for you to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions. They will consider the type of surgery performed and your individual health needs and recovery progress before suggesting when you can resume workouts after your BPH surgery and what type of exercises you can do. You must note that it’s important to resume working out gradually and avoid activities that may cause strain on the operated area. Also, you must increase the intensity and duration of your workouts over time. Here are some workout tips to follow after BPH surgery:
Resume working out with activities such as walking or light stretching, and gradually increase intensity and duration over time as your body allows. Starting with low-impact exercises will put less strain on your body.
Avoid heavy lifting and other activities that may put pressure on the pelvic area in the initial weeks following surgery.
Pelvic floor exercises can help strengthen the muscles that support the bladder. Your healthcare provider may recommend specific pelvic floor exercises to help improve urinary symptoms and promote recovery after BPH surgery.
Pay attention to how your body feels during and after exercise. If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the activity and consult with your healthcare provider.
All in all, incorporating some physical activity and exercise in your routine after BPH surgery can be beneficial in your recovery as long as it’s done safely and with the guidance of your doctor.
