Laser Surgery of Prostate

Laser surgery of the prostate is a minimally invasive treatment approach used for selected patients with prostate enlargement and associated urinary symptoms. The procedure uses laser technology to manage prostate tissue that may be affecting the normal passage of urine. 

Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing urinary symptoms related to prostate enlargement. The assessment may include understanding the patient's symptoms, medical history and previous treatment. Investigations may be advised to evaluate the prostate, urinary flow and bladder emptying. 

Treatment planning depends on several factors, including: 

• Prostate size  

• Severity of urinary symptoms  

• Urinary flow  

• Bladder emptying  

• Previous treatment  

• Associated urinary problems  

• Overall health of the patient  

Depending on the individual condition, laser surgery may be considered as a minimally invasive option for appropriate patients. The suitable procedure is determined after clinical evaluation and relevant investigations.

• Weak urinary stream  

• Difficulty starting urination  

• Frequent urination  

• Increased night-time urination

Early evaluation can help determine the cause of symptoms and identify suitable treatment options.
