As men age, the prostate gland may increase in size—a condition known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This enlargement can press against the urethra and affect normal urine flow.
BPH is not cancer, but it can significantly impact daily life if left untreated.
Common Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate
Men with BPH often experience:
- Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
- Weak or slow urine stream
- Difficulty starting urination
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Sudden urgency to urinate
- Dribbling at the end of urination
These symptoms can worsen over time and affect sleep, comfort, and overall quality of life.
What is Laser Prostate Surgery (TURP)?
Laser prostate surgery, commonly referred to as TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow.
Modern techniques often combine TURP with laser technology, making the procedure more precise and safer.
How It Works
- A thin instrument is inserted through the urethra
- No external cuts or stitches are required
- Excess prostate tissue is removed or vaporized
- Urine flow is restored immediately
Why Choose Laser TURP?
Compared to traditional surgery, laser TURP offers multiple advantages:
Key Benefits
- ✅ No external incision
- ✅ Minimal bleeding
- ✅ Faster recovery
- ✅ Short hospital stay
- ✅ Immediate symptom relief
- ✅ Long-lasting results
This makes it one of the most preferred treatments for enlarged prostate.
Who Needs Laser Prostate Surgery?
Laser TURP is recommended for patients who:
- Have moderate to severe urinary symptoms
- Do not respond to medications
- Experience complications like urinary retention
- Have frequent infections or bladder issues
A detailed evaluation helps determine whether surgery is the right option.
