EchoLaser for benign prostate enlargement: how does it work?

Benign prostatic enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a prevalent condition in men, especially as they age. The prostate, a small gland located below the bladder, encircles the urethra—the tube that carries urine out of the body. As the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra, leading to urinary difficulties such as a weak urine stream, trouble initiating urination, and frequent urination, particularly at night. While BPH is not cancerous, it can severely impact a man's quality of life by disrupting sleep, causing discomfort, and increasing the risk of urinary tract infections. Leading consultant urological surgeon, Mr. Wissam Abou-Chedid, provides insight into a cutting-edge treatment option: EchoLaser, a non-invasive and highly effective method for treating BPH.
