Prostate vaporisation

Laser treatment for benign prostate enlargement — no incision, less bleeding, faster discharge.

“Does an enlarged prostate cause erectile dysfunction?”

A common misconception. Benign enlargement affects urination, not erection. Laser vaporisation treats poor flow and night-time waking while preserving erections in the vast majority of cases.

Who it is for

Usually a man over fifty with weak flow, repeated night-time waking or retention — and medication is no longer enough.

How it is done

Endoscopically through the urethra, the laser vaporises the enlarged tissue. No external incision, less bleeding than conventional resection, one night or same-day discharge.

Common questions

Does it affect ejaculation?

Retrograde ejaculation can occur in a share of patients. It is discussed before surgery, especially for men who still want children.
