Treatment Options for
Prostate Conditions in Thane
- /01 Medication Management Alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin relax muscles to improve urine flow, while 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride shrink the prostate. Combination therapy is the first-line approach for moderate BPH.
- /02 Bipolar TURP Gold standard surgical treatment for BPH. A resectoscope is passed through the urethra to resect excess prostate tissue — no incision required. Bipolar TURP reduces TUR syndrome risk and suits larger prostates.
- /03 HoLEP – Holmium Laser Enucleation Minimally invasive laser procedure effective for all prostate sizes, including glands over 80g. The holmium laser enucleates obstructing tissue in one session with minimal bleeding and short hospital stay.
- /04 Prostate Biopsy When PSA levels are elevated or DRE findings are suspicious, a biopsy is performed under ultrasound guidance for histopathological analysis. Results guide further treatment including surgery or radiation if cancer is detected.
