What is Laser Vaporization Treatment Naples?
Laser Vaporization Treatment for BPH
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is sometimes called an enlarged prostate. While this condition is not dangerous, it can cause uncomfortable and embarrassing symptoms, such as urinary incontinence. Men who are experiencing these side effects of BPH often seek treatment.
There are many treatments for BPH, but one of the least invasive treatments for BPH is a Laser Vaporization Treatment called Photoselective Vaporization (PVP)
PVP is a very common surgery for BPH. In PVP, the surgeon guides a thin tube (a cystoscope) through the urethra to the prostate. Then the surgeon uses a laser to destroy obstructing prostate tissue and stop bleeding.
PVP is done as an outpatient procedure at the hospital or sometimes in the doctor’s office. Most men can have a PVP without adverse events. There is little bleeding and few side effects. After PVP, you can often stop medical therapy for BPH.
Good candidates for PVP include men with small- to moderate-sized prostates and those with too many medical problems for more-invasive surgery. Men with weak hearts are also good candidates because there is no blood loss. So are men who want to limit anesthesia. Men with a higher risk of bleeding, such as those taking blood-thinning medications, may also be good candidates for PVP.
