Frequently Asked Questions
What is HoLEP?
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) uses a laser to core out the enlarged prostate tissue, ideal for very large prostates.
Will BPH surgery affect sexual function?
Erectile function is rarely affected. However, retrograde ejaculation (dry climax) is a common side effect of traditional TURP, though preserved in Rezum/UroLift.
