What is the laser therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia

GreenLight Laser therapy is used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a non-cancerous augmentation of the Prostate. It is a relatively new BPH prostate treatment that evaporates prostatic tissue and restores normal urine flow.  

It is a safe and effective BPH surgery that involves the insertion of a cystoscope and thin fibre into the urethra through to the prostate under the effect of anaesthesia. High energy laser energy is directed to eliminate that extra prostate tissue and restore the original size of the prostate. 

It usually does not require an overnight stay.  You can continue with your usual routine once the BPH laser therapy session concludes.  Most patients do not experience any alarming side effects. And they can return to their routine in a few days.

About Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia can be defined as non-cancerous growth of the prostate.  It is a common prostate disorder among men as they age, like in their 50s or 60s. While BPH is not serious, it can be uncomfortable as normal urination becomes difficult.

Cause of BPH

The real cause of BPH is not identified yet.  Hormonal imbalance is considered to be a driving factor. As men get older, the gap between the production of active testosterone and oestrogen hormone may cause prostate enlargement. 

Some studies also suggest that the process of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in excess can be a cause of BPH.

Common symptoms of BPH are

  • Irregular flow of urine 
  • Frequent urination 
  • Difficulty in urination 
  • Leaky bladder 
  • Uncontrollable urge to urinate, especially at night, 
  • The bladder feels full even after urination 

Most men find it difficult to sleep with this unfamiliar urinating behaviour.  Speak to our urologist and discuss the course of BPH prostate treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser therapy is one of the effective and safest surgical BPH treatments. There are fewer complications than other conventional treatments. Most patients experience immediate relief from BPH and can return to their home. There can be some heaviness in the legs for some hours but that’s normal. Some men however may experience minor bleeding, irritation, retrograde ejaculation and urinary tract infection. Speak to your doctor before undergoing the BPH surgery.

Most BPH patients get immediate improvement within a day after a single laser therapy session. Some patients may take longer depending on the severity of their prostate enlargement, medical history and other factors.

The laser therapy takes almost one hour to complete. After the procedure, the patient is shifted to the special ward for recovery. Our nurses will monitor your condition for a few more hours and then transfer you to the general ward. The catheter will be removed within 12 hours.

It is a one-day BPH surgery and you will be discharged the next day. So you can resume your work within 48-72 hours after consulting the doctor.

While the cause is still unknown, men over the age of 50 are usually at risk of prostate enlargement. There are other factors that increase the risk such as 

  • Family history 
  • Obesity 
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Erectile dysfunction

Speak to a urologist on the first sign of BPH and undergo laser therapy.
