My uncle is diagnosed with BPH. Our urologist gave him medication for almost an year. But now he suggests TURP. I recently saw some articles which talks about probability of prostate cancer in patients after TURP procedure for patients done on diagnosis of BPH. So little worried on the TURP procedure. Can you please suggest me.
