Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a disorder in which the prostate enlarges, is the source of minor urinary symptoms that can be treated with prostate laser surgery.
In this blog, you’ll explore why you will need this life-changing procedure and the risks and complications.
What is Laser Prostate Surgery?
In laser prostate surgery, your doctor inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the bladder, the tube that transports pee from your bladder, during prostate laser surgery. Urine flow from the bladder is restricted by an enlarged prostate, which covers the bladder.
Energy from a laser that is transmitted via the scope causes the prostate’s extra tissue that blocks urine flow to shrink or disappear.
Why You Need Laser Prostate Surgery?
Laser prostate operation is commonly used to treat the symptoms of (BPH). BPH is a non-cancerous condition where the prostate grows larger. As it increases, the gland presses against the bladder (urinary tube), restricting the flow of urine.
BPH symptoms include:
• Slow Urination
• Difficulty starting Urination
• Urgent need to urinate
• Increased rate of urination at night
• Stopping and starting again while urinating
• The feeling of completely empty bladder
• Bladder stones

Laser Prostate can also be used to prevent other complications such as:
• Kidney or Bladder Damage
• Regular urinary infections
• Inability to control urine
• Blood in the urine
• Bladder stones
What are the Risks and Complications of Laser Prostate?
Laser prostate is usually safe. Serious long-term complications are less likely with these surgeries.
1. Temporary difficulty urinating for a few days following the operation. This suggests that a tube may be required to remove pee from the bladder.
2. Dry Orgasm is a frequent and lasting result of prostate surgery of any type. This occurs when sperm is released into the bladder instead of the penis. While it may impact reproduction, the condition is normally harmless and has no effect on sexual pleasure.
3. Urinary tract infection is a possible side effect following any prostate surgery. The longer the tube is in place, the more possible it is.
