how soon after turp can i drink alcohol
Hi Husks, I recently had a TURP operation. I was wondering when it would be safe for me to start drinking alcohol again?
Hello, I hope you're recovering well from your procedure. After a TURP operation, it's generally recommended that you avoid alcohol for at least 24-48 hours. Alcohol can potentially interfere with antibiotics or other medications you may be taking, and can also promote bleeding.
I see. What about beer? Does the same apply?
Yes, the same rule applies to all types of alcoholic beverages, including beer. It's best to play it safe and give your body plenty of time to heal from the procedure. The postoperative period is crucial for a good recovery.
I understand. How about wine? I heard it could be beneficial.
While moderate wine consumption might have some health benefits, it's crucial to remember that it is still classified as alcohol. After a surgical procedure such as TURP, it's recommended you abstain from all forms of alcohol, including wine, until you are fully recovered and your specialist gives you the all-clear.
That makes sense. Thank you for the advice, Husks.
