Early dysuria was associated with younger age, diabetes, and clot retention. Between 1 and 3 months, dysuria showed weak associations, with operative and functional variables, including operative time, total energy, enucleation efficiency, bipolar energy use, prior prostate biopsy, and postoperative Qmax. On exploratory multivariate analysis, younger age independently predicted early dysuria (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84\u20130.97,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.007), while prior prostate biopsy predicted dysuria between 1 and 3 months (OR 10.85, 95% CI 1.12\u2013105.15,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.040).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postoperative dysuria after EEP is highly prevalent during the early postoperative period but follows a predominantly self-limited course, with near-complete resolution after 12 weeks.
