Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a common condition in men over 50. As the prostate enlarges, it can press against the urethra (the tube that carries urine), leading to urination problems, a weak urine stream, frequent nighttime urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Laser treatment for BPH is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a high-powered laser to remove or reduce excess prostate tissue. Compared to traditional prostate surgery (TURP or open surgery), laser procedures offer:
Less bleeding
Shorter hospital stay
Faster recovery
Safer option for men with heart disease or on blood thinners
India is one of the most sought-after destinations for laser prostate surgery, thanks to world-class urologists, advanced hospitals, and affordable treatment packages. VivaVel Health ensures that patients and caregivers receive expert medical care with comprehensive tourism support.
Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
Weak urine stream or dribbling
Difficulty starting urination
Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
Sudden urge to urinate
In severe cases, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or kidney damage
The prostate naturally enlarges with age, but the exact causes include:
Hormonal changes (decrease in testosterone, increase in estrogen/DHT)
Family history of prostate problems
Chronic inflammation or infection
Lifestyle factors like obesity and poor diet
You should see a doctor if you experience:
Difficulty passing urine
Painful urination or blood in urine
Repeated urinary tract infections
Sudden inability to urinate (urinary retention)
Disrupted sleep due to frequent urination
Age over 50
Family history of BPH
Obesity and lack of physical activity
Diabetes and heart disease
Erectile dysfunction
Doctors may recommend:
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): to check prostate size
Urine Flow Test: to measure speed and volume
PSA Blood Test: to rule out prostate cancer
Ultrasound: to measure prostate size and bladder condition
Cystoscopy: to look inside the urethra and bladder
Types of Laser Treatments for BPH
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate):
Removes entire excess prostate tissue
Suitable for very large prostates
Long-lasting results
GreenLight PVP (Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate):
Vaporizes prostate tissue with minimal bleeding
Quick recovery, often same-day discharge
Thulium Laser Resection:
Precise cutting with minimal bleeding
Ideal for moderate-sized prostates
Do’s:
Drink plenty of water to flush the bladder
Take prescribed antibiotics and painkillers
Resume walking and light activity after discharge
Attend follow-up checkups
Don’ts:
Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
Don’t ignore burning, blood in urine, or fever
Avoid alcohol and caffeine initially (can irritate bladder)
Don’t resume sexual activity until cleared by your doctor
Recovery & Outlook
Most men notice improvement in urination within days
Full recovery usually takes 2–3 weeks
Long-term success rate is 90–95%
Laser treatment reduces the need for repeat procedures compared to older methods.
Safer option for elderly patients or those with medical comorbidities
