What the study is about

The purpose of this study is to develop a multi-modal protocol for pain management after TURP that minimizes opioid use. The investigators hypothesize this approach will provide non-inferior pain control to the current standard of care which includes opioids as the primary agent. The investigators believe this is an important step in reducing the opioid epidemic in surgical patients.

Being studied: Ibuprofen 600 mg; Education

Conditions: Pain; BPH With Urinary Obstruction; BPH With Urinary Obstruction With Other Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
