Green light laser or TURP laser along with Transurethral resection of the prostate Green Light Laser, Radio frequency therapy, Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), prescription medications to relax the bladder neck, medications to shrink the prostate, herbal supplements, and minimizing fluid intake and voiding prior to going to sleep are all used to help stop or reduce frequent urination and waking up to urinate (nocturia).

Green light laser (TURP laser) is a very quick way to remove the bothersome, painful, and sometimes dangerous symptoms of prostate enlargement. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) also removes the tissue that stops the bladder from emptying completely. TURP also gives relief of symptoms of prostate enlargement within a day and is performed in the operating room. The TURP is performed by using a hot loop of wire to cut out the excess prostate tissue while simultaneously cauterizing any blood vessels that are cut. Transurethral resection of the prostate has been performed for the last one hundred years and has long been the standard for the relief of the enlarged prostate. Twenty years ago newer technologies have surfaced to improve upon the TURP.

Minimizing side effects of the TURP (TURP laser) has come into vogue and many approaches have been used. The first side effect entrepreneurs addressed come from the common complications of having anesthesia for the TURP. Radio frequency therapy came on the scene which allows men to go into the urologist’s office, take some oral medications and remove the extra prostate tissue within twenty minutes and go home. Another common practice is taking natural supplements or herbal supplements to open up the urethra and allow the urine to completely pass out of the bladder. Once your medical practitioner determines your diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia these natural supplements for prostate enlargement are available in supermarkets, health food stores, and online. Some of the most popular prostate enlargement supplements are saw palmetto, red clover, pygeum africanium, and a vast array of capsules with different combinations of plants and minerals inside. This gives the consumer a large choice of solutions and many urologists will help guide their patients about which natural supplements could help them, along with what dosages to take. The advantage of having your urologist guide you is that they have been looking at many studies of the effectiveness of the different products and they will tell you which ones not to take because they will cause complications with any medications you are now taking.
