THULIUM LASER VAPORISATION OF PROSTATE (THUVAP)

THULIUM LASER VAPORISATION OF PROSTATE (THUVAP) Another effective treatment option for prostate enlargement is Thulium Laser Vaporisation of Prostate (THUVAP). This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to remove excess prostate tissue and improve urine flow.

During THUVAP, a small laser fiber is inserted through the urethra and into the prostate. The laser energy is then used to vaporize the excess tissue and create a channel for urine to flow through. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery time is shorter than with traditional surgical methods.

THUVAP has several benefits compared to other treatment options. It’s less invasive than TURP, which means less damage to surrounding tissue and fewer side effects. It’s also less expensive than some other procedures, making it an attractive option for patients who may be concerned about the cost of treatment.

Like THULEP, THUVAP is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor can help you determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure based on your symptoms, medical history, and overall health. With the right care and attention, THUVAP can be an effective way to relieve the symptoms of prostate enlargement and improve your quality of life.
