Recurrent fever after TURP surgery
My father had enlarged prostate and had recurrent UTI. He underwent TURP surgery 2 months ago. Since then, he has been experiencing recurrent low-grade fever (around 99°F). The fever resolves while he is on antibiotics but returns within a few days of stopping them. His urine culture repeatedly shows E. coli. Occasionally, he also notices small black particles or yellowish pus-like material in the urine. There is no high-grade fever or severe chills. Could you please guide what to be done?

The normal body temperature for a healthy adult typically ranges from 97°F to 99°F . Temperature can be Lowest in the early morning and highest in the late afternoon. So if you are checking then it will be high.
Repeated fever and dark spots or debris in your urine after TURP surgery are warning signs of a urinary tract infection, healing prostate scabs, or residual bleeding. Can be any one reason causing your father's symptoms.
Post TURP, E.coli infection is a common and treatable bacterial complication linked to catheter use or normal urinary bacteria, managed primarily with targeted prescription antibiotics and increased fluid intake
Use higher antibiotic as per urine culture and sensitivity after discussing with your urologist

Thank you for sharing your concern.
Based on your signs and symptoms, a urinary tract infection (UTI) or prostatitis should be ruled out. Further evaluation, including appropriate laboratory investigations such as a urine routine examination, urine culture and sensitivity, complete blood count (CBC), and other relevant tests, is recommended to establish the diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment.
