Overview
What to expect from Prostate Treatment
Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) can cause frequent urination, weak flow, and disrupted sleep. MedVocs' urologists offer TURP and laser prostate procedures performed entirely through the urinary tract, with no external incisions.
Your urologist will assess prostate size and symptom severity to recommend the most suitable technique for lasting relief.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Fast for 6–8 hours before the procedure as instructed, since it is done under general, spinal, or regional anaesthesia.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
After anaesthesia, an endoscope is passed through a natural opening so no external cut is needed.
- 2
A magnified camera view lets the surgeon see the treatment area clearly on a monitor.
- 3
The condition is treated precisely using specialised instruments passed alongside the endoscope.
- 4
You are moved to recovery once the surgeon confirms the procedure is complete.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are monitored on the ward during your 1–2 day stay so the care team can manage comfort and early recovery.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about 1–2 weeks, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
