Bladder capacity 4 weeks post pvp

Has anyone had problems post pvp or TURP with reduced functional
bladder capacity resulting in greater frequency? While my stream is
stronger, my maximum void has consistently been 100-120 ml. I'm still
going 4-6 times a night. I'm 55 and it turned out that I had a normal
sized prostate (21), but an enlarged medial lobe that was treated by
pvp 27 days ago. Has my bladder shrunk or gone through other changes
either through the surgery or by years of stoppage and precautionary
voiding at every opportunity? Must I retrain my bladder to hold more?
Will my bladder eventually regain it's "youthful vigor" on it's own?
:~) Does the bladder improve and/or naturally heal itself, and if so,
how much and how long? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks for
your thoughts and experiences.
Steve
