Can Holmium laser treatment be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I am elderly and in poor health, suffering from coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure. Using classical surgical methods, I am afraid my body cannot endure it. Therefore, I hope to obtain a treatment with minimal psychological trauma, safety, and reliability. Based on the literature, the aforementioned two methods seem to be better. However, I do not know if other hospitals in China have such equipment and what the surgical costs are. I look forward to your reply. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

With benign prostatic hyperplasia, laser surgery can be attempted as a treatment, or medication-based treatment can be considered. You can visit a local hospital for consultation and examination. Additionally, active treatment should be given to conditions such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
