What is GreenLight Laser Therapy?
GreenLight Laser Therapy uses a high-powered laser to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Recovery is faster than traditional surgery.
This procedure helps to:
- Relieve urinary obstruction caused by BPH
- Improve urinary flow and bladder emptying
- Reduce urinary urgency and frequency
- Minimize hospital stay and downtime
- Provide an alternative to long-term medication
What to expect after GreenLight Laser Therapy?
Following GreenLight Laser Therapy, patients often notice gradual improvement in urine flow within days. Mild burning or slight bleeding is common and usually subsides within a week. Rest and increased fluid intake are advised to aid healing.
- Mild burning sensation during urination
- Slight blood in urine for up to a week
- Temporary urinary urgency or frequency
- Gradual improvement in urinary flow
