Lawrenceville & Braselton · Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Who is a candidate for ThuLEP?

By Advanced Urology ·

What's the short answer?

Each one works through the urethra with a laser, removing the prostate tissue that blocks urine, and no cuts are made.

They work for nearly any prostate size.

Our urologists usually turn to them when a man can't urinate on his own, or when another treatment such as PAE hasn't worked well enough.

You're under general anesthesia for it, and the catheter typically stays about a week afterward.

Afterward, dry orgasm is common, and some men leak for a while.

If BPH has left you relying on a catheter, book a visit and we'll see whether this fits.
