Are you in the bathroom so often it’s become your “man cave”? A better solution has arrived

It’s time target prostate problems. If you experience symptoms or have been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), more commonly referred to as an enlarged prostate, and medications haven’t given you satisfying results, it may be time to take action with GreenLight laser therapy. 

What is GreenLight laser therapy?

GreenLight Laser therapy is a minimally invasive procedure where a doctor uses a laser to rapidly heat and vaporize the tissue blocking your prostate. This enables urine to flow naturally and rapidly once more. Although you will be under general anesthesia for the procedure, most patients are able to go home within a few hours and often without a urinary catheter. 


Why is laser therapy preferable to surgery?

Compared to traditional surgery, GreenLight laser therapy offers:
  • Significantly less chance of severe blood loss
  • Same-day surgery
  • Significantly faster recovery

When can I expect relief for my BPH symptoms?

Most patients experience rapid relief of symptoms and a dramatic improvement in urine flow within 24 hours of their procedure.
