How long does it take to recover from ejaculatory duct obstruction treatment?

These are generally outpatient procedures. You’ll have a Foley catheter in your penis to help you pee for two to three days.

You may have blood in your urine and semen for a time after the procedure. You shouldn’t engage in sexual activity until you see your provider for your post-operative appointment. Your provider will remove the catheter then.

Don’t do any heavy lifting (objects over 10 pounds) for about two weeks.

Take prescribed medication, usually pain relievers and antibiotics, as your provider suggests.

You can return to work when your provider says it’s safe.

Complications/side effects of transurethral resection of ejaculatory ducts (TURED)

Some of the potential complications or side effects of TURED are that:

  • You may emit watery fluid when you orgasm.
  • You may develop epididymitis.
  • The blockage may return.
  • You may have an injury to your rectum.
  • You may develop urinary incontinence.

Complications/side effects of seminal vesiculoscopy

This procedure has had few side effects. Most have been short-term, like pain. However, some people who have had the procedure have mentioned:

  • Feeling that you've ejaculated a lower volume of semen.
  • Feeling that your sexual function or performance had changed.
