[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have been planned to undergo surgery of TURN for enlarged prostate and want to fly over a week before planned surgery and worried about some complication may occur due to pressure. Flying for a short period of 3-4 hours will not have any pressure effect on bladder neither there is danger of getting retention of urine if you follow instructions .1) Empty your bladder before you board 2) Do not Chat Doctor. 3) Avoid sitting continuously for more than 2 hours and prefer to have a walk for short distance in flight itself .4) Do not hold on urination 5) Empty your bladder if you have urge to pass urine.
