Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment in Turkey
Adenoma of the prostate is a benign tumor of the prostate. Causes inflammation of the bladder and impaired renal function. The symptoms of this disease are problems with urinating, a burning sensation after urination, and frequent nighttime urges.
Normally, after 40 years, the prostate begins to grow due to hormonal disruption. After 50 years, 25% of men develop an adenoma. If over 80 years old, then in 90% of cases there will be a disease that worsens the quality of life.
With a timely appeal to highly qualified doctors in a clinic in Turkey, it is possible to prevent the development of the disease — the transition to the malignant stage in particular.

Innovative methods of diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenoma in Turkey
The doctor begins the consultation with a conversation, during which he is comfortable, asks about symptoms, lifestyle and additional factors. After that, he makes a manual examination using palpation or digital rectal examination. The doctor determines by touch, if there is an increase in the gland, its structure. After that, it sends to additional diagnostic methods:
- Transrectal ultrasound scanning of the prostate. Through the rectum, the doctor inserts a device that displays an image on the screen. Thus, it visualizes the prostate, its size and location.
- Biopsy. Taking tissue for examination under a microscope.
- Puncture of organ biopsies. Also for laboratory diagnostics.
- Measurement of the level of prostate specific antigen in the blood. It is important for differentiating the diagnosis from cancer.
Surgery for prostate adenoma
- Transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate — the introduction of an electric loop with lighting through the urethra. It cauterizes blood vessels and destroys abnormal tissue. This method of surgery causes minimal damage and does not provoke even mild bleeding.
- Laparoscopic adenomectomy. The specialist uses a laparoscope with visualization on a screen and physically disposes of the tissue.
- Transurethral microwave therapy. Does not require anesthesia. With the help of an apparatus with electromagnetic waves, the surgeon causes cell death due to the increased temperature.
- Transurethral needle ablation. High-frequency radio waves are passed through double needles — the doctor destroys the adenoma.
- Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. A specialist uses a laser to remove tissue along the anatomical capsule. This method preserves erectile function in young men.
- Photoselective vaporization of the prostate with a «green laser». A similar method with a different laser characteristic.
- Open prostatectomy. The surgeon chooses this method if the previous one is not possible to carry out.
The Da Vinci robot is an auxiliary device used by doctors in the best clinics in Turkey. With almost any surgical intervention, it is able to completely remove hand tremors, making the surgeon’s movement smooth.
