Gentle due to modern technology
Constant urination, a weak urine stream and unpleasant dribbling afterward - what becomes a nightmare for many men is usually due to benign enlargement of the prostate. It affects almost every second man over 50 and is thus the most common disease in men. In so-called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the glandular tissue of the prostate grows into the area of the urethra.
There are several possible therapies for benign prostate enlargement, depending on the subjective symptoms of the patient. In the early stages, medications that have a decongestant and relaxing effect can help. Later, only surgical intervention can provide relief. In addition to the classic prostate resection (TURP), at the West German Prostate Center you can resort to innovative procedures from modern laser therapy, with which excess prostate tissue can be removed gently and with little bleeding:
Bleeding is reduced by the simultaneous tissue-removing and hemostatic effect of the laser procedures, and the healing time is significantly shortened. Men with a large prostate and men who are exposed to an increased risk of bleeding due to taking anticoagulant medication benefit from this in particular.
