here are several options for surgery for enlarged prostate, depending on the patient's health condition and the size of the prostate.
Basically, the American Medical Association recommends TURP* and Holeb as standard treatments for prostate surgery. TURP is the most textbook treatment method for BPH surgery, and Holep has the advantage of being able to treat urethral strictures or bladder stones together.
*TURP: A surgical method in which tissue is scraped using a high-pressure loop.
**Holep: A surgical procedure that removes the kernel leaving behind the membrane that surrounds the prostate.
In recent years, new medical technologies such as Rezum, RoboWaterJet, and Eurolift have been developed as minimally invasive methods. These are options if your prostate is less than 80 grams in size.
The cost per surgery depends on the number of threads used. Most of the prices for TURP are 1.5 million won, Holep is 150~2 million won, and Eurolift is 8 million won.
Immediately after surgery for enlarged prostate, frequent trips to the bathroom or inability to urinate may occur temporarily.
In addition, some people have retrograde ejaculation symptoms in which the amount of semen decreases or does not come out during ejaculation. This happens because the prostate is the organ that produces some of the semen, and it can occur regardless of the outcome of the surgery.
