An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), occurs when the prostate gland grows larger, causing issues with urination. Common causes include age-related hormonal changes that lead to prostate growth. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate may include frequent urination, difficulties in urination, weak urine stream, or the feeling of not fully emptying the bladder. Diagnosis involves physical exam, medical history review, and tests like urinalysis, ultrasound, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Treatment options for an enlarged prostate include lifestyle changes, medications, and surgical procedures.
Thulium laser surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate. During this surgery, a thulium laser is used to remove excess prostate tissue that is causing obstruction. The laser energy precisely targets and vaporizes the overgrown prostate tissue, relieving pressure on the urethra and improving urine flow. This procedure is performed through the urethra, avoiding the need for incisions on the body. The advantages of thulium laser surgery include minimal bleeding, shorter recovery times, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery. The procedure usually allows for a quicker return to normal activities.
