A member asked:
After prostate surgery, will the prostate continue to grow or will it stop after the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: If the surgery is prostatectomy then the whole gland is removed and there would be further growth of the gland. If the surgery is a TURP (trans-urethral resection of prostate) then much of the prostate is left and overtime the remaining gland can regrow.
