π€ What is BPH?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects men as they age π¨βπ¦³
As the prostate grows, it can press on the urinary channel and cause:
π½ Frequent urination
π Waking at night to pass urine (nocturia)
β³ Weak urine flow
π£ Difficulty starting or stopping urine
π« Feeling of incomplete emptying

π΅ What is Blue Light Laser Therapy?
Blue light laser therapy (often referred to as photoselective vaporization of the prostate β PVP) uses a high-energy laser beam to safely remove excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow β‘
π‘ The laser targets blood-rich prostate tissue β vaporizes it β opens the urinary passage
π All done without traditional cutting
---
π Why Patients Are Choosing Laser Treatment
β
Minimally invasiveβ no large incisions
π©Έ Very low bleeding risk (great for patients on blood thinners)
π₯ Short hospital stay β often same day or overnight
β‘ Fast symptom relief
β±οΈ Quick recovery & return to normal activities
π Durable long-term results
---
π οΈ How is the Procedure Done?
π A small telescope (scope) is passed through the natural urinary passage (no external cuts)
π΅ The laser fibre is guided to the prostate
β‘ Excess tissue is gently vaporized
π½ Urine flow improves immediately after the blockage is removed

π¨ββοΈ Who is Suitable?
βοΈ Men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms
βοΈ Patients not responding well to medications
βοΈ Those who want to avoid long-term medication

β οΈ Are There Any Side Effects?
Like any medical procedure, there can be some temporary effects:
π§ Mild burning during urination (short-term)
π©Έ Light blood in urine initially
π Retrograde ej*******on (dry ej*******on) in some men
π Serious complications are uncommon when performed by experienced hands

π How Does It Compare to Traditional Surgery?
π΅ Laser therapy vs conventional TURP:
βοΈ Less bleeding
βοΈ Shorter catheter time
βοΈ Faster recovery
βοΈ Comparable or better outcomes
