Laser BPH Devices: Advancing Care for an Enlarged Prostate
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects aging men, often leading to urinary difficulty, frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and discomfort. For decades, traditional surgical methods like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) were the standard option for men who needed more than medication. While effective, these procedures often came with longer recovery periods and higher risks of bleeding. The emergence of laser BPH devices has transformed the way clinicians manage prostate enlargement by offering a minimally invasive, precise, and safer approach.
Laser BPH devices work by using focused laser energy to remove, vaporize, or enucleate excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The type of laser—such as Holmium, Thulium, or GreenLight—determines the technique used and how quickly tissue can be cleared. Because lasers seal blood vessels during the process, patients typically experience less bleeding than with…
