I : I am not exactly sure what you are asking here. There are different procedures available for urinary symptoms. The most minimally invasive procedures are in-office procedures like tumt or tuna. These are procedures done in the office with minimal anesthesia. These generally have quick recoveries. However, they generally do not work as well as more invasive procedures. Some patients are able to maintain their ejaculate. Photoselective vaporization of the prostate or laser surgery is certainly less bloody than a traditional TURP but it does cause frequently cause a loss of ejacuate. You are able to go home the day of your procedure as well. There is some argument as to whether or not this procedure is as good as a turp. Turp remains the gold standard treatment for urinary symptoms. However, it is the most invasive, requires a hospital stay and has the highest rate of bleeding requiring blood transfusion. This will definitely wipe out your ejaculate as well.
